Clevis pins, usually joined to clevis joints (a.k.a. fork heads) and clevis mounts/tangs, are vital mechanical components in many industrial applications. This article takes a closer look at the technical specifications of clevis pins with holes to DIN 71752, their applications, and best practices for their use and maintenance.

What is a clevis pin?

A hole pin is a type of round shaft with holes that allow pins or bolts to be inserted, making for easier fastening and swivel motion (i.e. a joint) between mechanical components.

Clevis pins are designed to keep components aligned and allow for relative movement. They are often used in clevis joints, whereby a shaft passes through the clevis end to create a swivel joint.

DIN 71752 standard

The German DIN 71752 standard lays down clevis pins' required dimensions, tolerances and materials, guaranteeing their compatibility and interchangeability in various industrial applications. This industry standard guarantees consistent quality and performance.

Applications for clevis pins

Automotive sector

In the automotive industry, clevis pins with holes are used in suspension systems, steering mechanisms, and braking systems. Their ability to withstand dynamic loads and vibration is essential for safe, reliable vehicles.

Industrial machinery

Clevis pins are also essential in industrial machines, where they are used to align and fasten components such as levers, connecting rods and swivel arms. Their high precision and durability will keep your machine operating efficiently and reliably.

Aeronautical engineering

In aeronautics, clevis pins with holes are used in flight control systems, landing gears and other critical mechanisms. Both robust and lightweight, they are key parts in this sector.

Clevis joints & clevis pins

Clevis pins are combined with clevises to create a joint. The clevis is a fork-shaped part into which the clevis pin is inserted, creating a swivel connection or joint. This is why it is also known as a fork head.

These components are used in a range of mechanisms containing joints, such as lifting systems, robotic arms and locking mechanisms. Their ability to withstand repetitive movements and dynamic loads makes them essential elements in a variety of machines and equipment.

How to choose the right DIN 71752 clevis pin

Things to consider before making your choice

When choosing a clevis pin, you should take the following factors into account:

  • Pin diameter: Make sure that the diameter of the pin's shaft is compatible with the components it will be fastening.
  • Pin length: The pin should be long enough to pass through all aligned components.
  • Material: Select a material that is suitable for the application environment and expected loads.

For some specific applications, you may also need to consider other factors such as corrosion resistance, heat resistance and weight. Make sure you fully understand your application requirements before making a decision.

Installing DIN 71752 clevis pin w/ hole

Install instructions

  1. Preparation: Ensure all components are aligned and that the pin's holes are clean.
  2. Inserting the pin: Insert the pin through the aligned components.
  3. Securing: Use pins or bolts to hold the pin in place through the holes.

To install a clevis pin, you will need:

  • Other pins: To hold the clevis pin in the holes.
  • Circlip pliers: For installing and removing circlips if used.
  • Torque wrench: To ensure correct tightening if necessary.
