5/8" Bent Clevis Pin with Swivel Lock for Trailer and Towing Systems Construction Equipment

What is Bent Clevis Pin?

A bent clevis pin is a type of fastener used in mechanical systems, commonly for connecting components in machinery, vehicles, and other mechanical assemblies.

It is a variation of the standard clevis pin, designed to accommodate specific alignment or rotational needs in certain applications.

1.VERSATILE

The 5/8-inch diameter of this hitch pin is compatible with any ball mount or other trailer hitch accessories with a 2-inch shank and 5/8-inch pin hole, making this receiver hitch pin a perfect fit for most class 3, 4 and 5 trailer hitches.

2.EASY TO HANDLE

The 105-degree bend in this swivel trailer hitch pin creates a useful handle for easier use and allows the pin to stay securely engaged in the trailer hitch and ball mount

3.CORROSION-RESISTANT

Protected by a durable zinc-plated finish, this tow hitch pin maintains excellent resistance to rust and corrosion for longevity and hassle-free use every time

4.SIMPLE, SECURE INSTALL

To install this swivel trailer hitch pin, simply insert your ball mount or other hitch accessory into the receiver. With the pin holes in the side of the receiver tube lined up, insert the pin and turn the clip

5.DURABLE CONSTRUCTION

Bent clevis pins are usually made from high-strength materials like steel, stainless steel, or alloy metals to handle significant loads and resist wear, corrosion, and fatigue in demanding applications.

A bent clevis pin is designed to provide angled connection capabilities, high load-bearing strength, and secure retention for mechanical systems where alignment or space constraints prevent the use of a straight pin.

It combines the functionality of a standard clevis pin with a design suited for more complex applications.

Application of Bent Clevis Pin

A bent clevis pin is used in a variety of mechanical systems and industries where angled connections, high load-bearing capacity, and secure fastening are required.The bend in the pin allows it to be used in applications where a standard, straight clevis pin wouldn’t fit or function effectively.

Here are some of the key applications of bent clevis pins:

1.Trailer and Towing Systems

Trailer Hitch Systems: Bent clevis pins are used in trailer hitch assemblies to secure the connection between a towing vehicle and a trailer. The bent pin allows for the alignment and flexibility needed in various towing scenarios.

Utility Trailers: Often used to attach components like axles, suspension parts, or drawbars, especially where space or angular alignment is an issue.

2.Agricultural Machinery

Tractors, Harvesters, and Plows: Bent clevis pins are commonly used to connect various components of agricultural machinery, such as attaching implements to tractors. The bent design allows for the necessary angle adjustments in the connection points.

Farm Equipment Linkages: Used in the linkages of mowers, tillers, and other farm tools, where components need to pivot at certain angles.

3.Construction Equipment

Excavators, Backhoes, and Loaders: These machines often use bent clevis pins to connect moving parts, such as boom arms, buckets, or stabilizers, allowing for flexibility in the range of motion.

Hydraulic Systems: Bent clevis pins are used in hydraulic actuators and cylinders to secure parts that move in a non-linear or angled direction.

4.Automotive and Suspension Systems

Suspension Linkages: In vehicles, especially in off-road or heavy-duty applications, bent clevis pins can be found in suspension systems to connect parts like shock absorbers or sway bars at specific angles.

Steering Mechanisms: The bent clevis pin may be used in steering assemblies where parts must pivot at certain angles, like in the steering linkages of trucks and large vehicles.
