Clevises - What are clevises and what are they made of?

Clevises are mechanical components used in various applications to enable movements in different directions. They consist of a threaded bolt or nut connected to a rod end or ball joint, allowing for the rotation and tilting of the clevis, which is useful in many industrial and technical systems.

  • Question: How do clevis work in mechanical systems?
    • Answer: clevis enable the transmission of movements in various axes by allowing the rotation and tilting of the clecis. This allows for precise control and flexibility in various applications.
  • Question: What types of clevis are available?
    • Answer: There are various types of rod ends, including ball joints, rod ends with internal threads, and rod ends with external threads. Each type has specific applications and advantages. You can find an overview of our clevises here here.
  • Question: Where are clevis typically used?
    • Answer: clevis are used in a wide range of applications, including vehicle steering, suspensions, industrial machinery and more. They are crucial for enabling precise movements and optimizing the performance of mechanical systems.
