Clevis Pins | Metric and Imperial from 3mm and 3/16

What is a clevis pin?

Clevis Pins are a type of fastener that will allow the rotation or swivelling of the connected parts about the axis of the pin linkage. A clevis pin, sometimes referred to as a link pin or hinge pin, consists of a head, shank, and cross-drilled hole. When using a fastening, such as a clevis pin, the hole that is at the opposite end of the pin to the head is inserted through the items to be linked, and then a cotter pin, R clip, or similar retaining fastener is inserted through the hole to fix the clevis pin in place.

Like a set screw, a clevis pin is often used to prevent two other pieces from moving relative to each other. A clevis pin is less adjustable in that it can hold two parts in exactly one relative position (because holes must be drilled in both parts). A clevis pin is also more secure, as it is less apt to work loose due to vibration. This is why clevis pins are often found in agricultural machinery. Clevis Pins are currently supplied in imperial and metric sizes to ISO 2341B and DIN 1444B, in stainless steel and bright zinc-coated steel.
