ESSENTRA20215583Clevis Joint with Retention Clips M8 8x16 16.0 Steel

Steel Clevis Joints, with retention clips, are a type of coupling in which the matching parts fit between the forks and are held in place by retention clips. They form a U-shaped connection between two rods, or shafts, to allow for tractive or linear thrust movements.

The retention clip is a clip that locks into place around the base of the clevis, preventing accidental disconnection and resulting in a clean, compact assembly. The steel substance ensures longevity and its ability to endure high forces, as well as resistance to wear and corrosion. If necessary, the joint can be dismantled for maintenance by removing the retention clip. This allows for component examination, lubrication and replacement.

Most commonly employed as a coupling on the end of air cylinders, at the ends of turnbuckles or for wire rope for tensioning, and used in industries such as construction, automotive and manufacturing.

• The retention clip is a single component and requires no tools for installation or removal.
