Overview
SIST EN 22341:1996 - Clevis pins with head (ISO 2341:1986) is an international standard issued by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST). This standard specifies the main characteristics and designations for clevis pins with a head, covering both types without a hole (type A) and with a split pin hole (type B). Applicable to metric dimensions, it defines nominal diameters ranging from 3 mm up to and including 100 mm. The document aligns with ISO 2341:1986, ensuring compatibility with global mechanical fastening and assembly practices.
Key Topics
Applications
Clevis pins are essential mechanical components used to facilitate pivoting or removable connections in a wide range of engineering and industrial fields. The adoption of SIST EN 22341:1996 offers several practical benefits:
- Mechanical Engineering and Assembly:
- Used in linkages, hinges, and as connectors in complex assemblies
- Automotive and Transport:
- Integral in vehicle linkage systems such as brake assemblies, pedal connections, and gear linkages
- Machinery and Equipment:
- Commonly applied in agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and industrial robots
- Maintenance and Repairs:
- Standardized dimensions simplify sourcing replacements and ensure compatibility across manufacturers
- Procurement and Inventory Management:
- Clear designations support accurate specifications and efficient inventory management
Standardizing clevis pins ensures reliability, ease of replacement, and interchangeability, reducing downtime in maintenance and supporting international trade of mechanical components.
