Product Sheet Clevis Pins

Product catalog summary

Description
Frappe Ardennaise clevis pins are cylindrical mechanical elements used as pivot points or articulated links between components, typically within a clevis. Manufactured by cold forging, these pins are known for their high resistance to wear, shearing, and bending stresses, as well as their dimensional accuracy and excellent surface finish. They are essential in applications requiring a mobile, robust, and reliable link, allowing rotation or oscillation of assembled parts.

General Characteristics

Function: Articulated joint, pivot point, axis of rotation.
Manufacturing Method: Cold heading, ensuring optimized grain structure and superior mechanical properties.
Application: Assembly of parts subject to articulated movements or dynamic loads.
Applications: Automotive, agricultural machinery, site machinery, hydraulic systems, lifting, industrial machinery, handling equipment, etc.
Manufacture: Made in France, by cold heading.

Available Materials

Steel:
- Mild steel: Good mechanical strength, easily malleable, can be galvanized or zinc-plated for corrosion protection.
- Carbon steel: Good mechanical strength, often heat-treated to improve surface hardness.
- Alloy steel: High tensile strength, fatigue and wear resistance, used for critical applications.
Stainless Steel:
- A2 (304) stainless steel: Good corrosion resistance for standard environments.
- A4 (316) stainless steel: Excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for aggressive environments.

Dimensions and Shape

Stem Diameter: From 2 to 20 mm.
Shank Length: From a few millimeters to 130 mm under the head.
Head Shape: Round head, flat head, or special heads according to customer requirements.
End Shapes: Chamfered or rounded for insertion, drilling for securing the pin, thread on one end for nut fixing.

Advantages

High mechanical strength due to cold forging.
Dimensional accuracy for precise assembly.
Durability with excellent resistance to wear and corrosion.
Reliability as safety-critical components in many applications.
Customization for bespoke pins to customer specifications.
Material optimization with low-cutting process reducing material wastage.

Finishes and Treatments

Heat Treatment: Hardening and tempering for increased hardness and wear resistance, case hardening/nitriding for improved abrasion resistance.
Surface Coatings: Zinc plating for corrosion protection, Dacromet/Geomet for high corrosion resistance.
