Clevis Pins

Clevis Pins are a type of fastener that will allow the rotation or swivel 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 which 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.
