Clevis ends are rugged, U-shaped connectors designed to act as a robust pivoting hinge. They provide a secure anchor point for rods and actuators, allowing necessary rotation in a single plane while strictly constraining unwanted side-to-side movement.
Used in conjunction with a clevis pin, they create a incredibly strong, reliable hinge joint capable of handling heavy dynamic loads in industrial environments.
Unlike ball joints that pivot omnidirectionally, a clevis ensures the connected linkage rotates only around one specific axis, preventing undesirable lateral “flopping” or misalignment.
Their solid U-shaped structure is engineered to endure massive push (compressive) and pull (tensile) forces directly along the line of action without deforming.
They are the industry-standard termination for connecting pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder piston rods to the machinery they are intended to move.
The simple pin-and-clip securing mechanism allows for rapid connection and disconnection of linkages without requiring specialized tools, significantly speeding up maintenance tasks.
With extensive expertise in rod ends, we are equally skilled in spherical plain bearing production, as their mechanical principles are very similar.
We have 38 supplier factories, enabling us to fully customize spherical plain bearings in various materials and types based on your needs.
Due to our mature production lines, we can offer competitive pricing and produce as few as 50 units.
Our well-established procurement chain allows us to offer highly competitive prices in the Chinese market.
We offer a variety of standard widths. Please choose based on the thickness of the material you wish to clamp.
Some models come with a hole pin and cotter pin for easy assembly and disassembly, saving time during installation.
It has industrial-grade strength. For specific load capacities, please refer to our load chart for detailed information.
Typically, the threads are fine (UNF) for precise adjustment and better anti-loosening performance.
Yes, we can custom-make clevises of various lengths and shapes through CNC machining to suit your needs.
We accept T/T, PayPal (for samples), and L/C for large orders. For new customers, 30% deposit and 70% before shipment is standard.
