clevismounted

Clevismounted refers to a type of bearing assembly where a bearing is secured or mounted onto a clevis. A clevis is a U-shaped piece of metal with a pin or bolt passing through its open ends, often used for connecting two parts. In clevismounted systems, the bearing, typically a spherical or roller bearing, is inserted into the open ends of the clevis. The inner race of the bearing then typically receives a shaft or pin, allowing for rotational or oscillating movement while the clevis provides a pivot point for attachment. This configuration is common in applications requiring a pivoting connection that also accommodates rotational movement at the bearing itself. Examples can be found in automotive suspension components, control linkages, and various industrial machinery. The clevis design allows for easy installation and removal of the bearing assembly, and the U-shape provides a strong and stable mounting point. The choice of bearing within the clevis depends on the load and speed requirements of the specific application.
