Clevis fastener

Clevises are used in a wide variety of fasteners used in farming equipment and sailboat rigging, as well as the automotive, aircraft and construction industries.

The formed head has a lip, which acts as a stop when threading the pin into the shackle, and a flattened tab with a cross-hole.

Older farming implements intended to be pulled by a team of draft animals often require a twist shackle to be hitched.

[5] A clevis bracket generally takes the form of a solid metal piece with a flat rectangular base, fitted with holes for bolts or machine screws, and two rounded wings in parallel forming a clevis.

Commonly used in aircraft and cars, clevis brackets allow mounting of rods to flat surfaces.

A twin clevis is a solid piece with two clevises directly opposite one another, each fitted with a pin.
