The Definitive Guide to Clevis Pin Types & Sourcing in 2026: Featuring the 1/8 Clevis Pin

As an Import Manager or Brand Owner, aligning with a manufacturing partner who truly understands clevis pin types and their specific applications is critical. Is your current supplier delivering inconsistent quality or missing deadlines? At Shijiazhuang TJJ TRADE CO., LTD., our 20+ year heritage as a precision foundry and export powerhouse allows us to manufacture reliable rigging hardware directly from China's robust supply chain. Whether you need a high-tolerance 1/8 clevis pin for sensitive agricultural machinery or heavy-duty industrial pins, our OEM/ODM expertise ensures your project meets both ASME standards and your budget targets.

The Fundamental Guide to Clevis Pin Types

Selecting the correct clevis pin types is crucial for securing linkages in mechanical assemblies. The wrong choice can lead to joint failure and costly downtime. Below are the primary classifications we manufacture at our Chinese foundry.

Classification by Design & Locking Mechanism

• Cotter Pin Type (Standard): The most common style. Features a cross-hole at the end for a cotter or split pin. Ideal for general rigging and agricultural use. Our 1/8 clevis pin often falls into this category.
• Screw Pin Type: Threaded at one end for a nut. Used in high-vibration environments where a cotter pin might shear off.
• Quick Release Pin: Features a spring-loaded ball bearing handle. Designed for rapid assembly and disassembly in temporary structures.
• Lynch Pin Style: Often used with a hairpin cotter. Common in trailer hitches and heavy farm equipment.

Classification by Material & Coating

The raw material defines the performance. Our foundry specializes in ferrous alloys but also partners with top SS mills.

The 1/8 Clevis Pin – A Closer Look at Precision

The 1 8 clevis pin (0.125 inches in diameter) is a critical component in light-duty mechanical linkages. It’s frequently used in small agricultural equipment, automotive linkages, and hardware assemblies. Sourcing this from a reliable foundry ensures that the tolerance of the pin diameter and the alignment of the cotter hole are precise, preventing failure under shear load.

At TJJ, we produce the 1/8 clevis pin with the following standard specifications:
