Clevis Pins & Retaining Clips
Clevis pins and retaining clips are robust and durable fasteners and fixing components designed to fasten a great range of components. These fastener types are alternatives to standard bolts and rivets that maintain the assembly’s stability, alignment, and functionality. These components are crafted from durable materials with zinc plating, such as stainless-steel clevis pins and steel clevis pins, respectively. Clevis and retaining clips are also available in various diameters with unique features, making them ideal for multiple fastening applications.
What Are Clevis Pins?
A clevis pin, also called a cotter pin, is a fastener type designed to secure two components in a way that allows rotational movement while preventing separation. It consists of a cylindrical pin with a hole near one end and a split pin (cotter pin) inserted through the hole to lock the pin in place. Clevis pins are commonly used in applications that require a secure connection while allowing for movement, such as in linkage systems, control mechanisms, and various machinery types.
Key Features of Clevis Pins:
- Adjustable cylindrical pin with a hole near one end.
- Come in varied metric and imperial sizes.
- Made of rugged materials, resisting corrosion.
- The hole accommodates a cotter pin or split pin.
- Allows for rotational movement between connected components.
- Prevents unintentional components’ separation.
What Are Retaining Clips?
A retaining clip, also called an R-clip, is a simple fastener designed to secure clevis pins and other fastener types. It is typically bent into a specific shape–preventing the clevis pin from sliding out of its hole.
Key Features of Retaining Clips:
- Made from resilient materials like stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant alloys.
- Bent into a specific shape to secure clevis pins, bolts, and other fasteners.
- Prevents the fastener from dislodging due to vibrations, movements, or external forces.
- Easy to install and remove with common hand tools.
- Available in various sizes and shapes to match different fastener configurations.
Typical Applications of Clevis Pins & Retaining Clips:
Clevis pins and retaining clips are essential components in various industries, including:
- Automotive
- Construction
- Agriculture
- Manufacturing
- Furniture Assembly and Installation
- Maine Applications
- DIY Projects
- HVAC Systems
- Power Generation
- Medical Equipment
- Aerospace.
