Clevis for American Crane 9310

The clevis, part number 826562, acts as a mechanical linkage for the American Crane 9310. It connects the end of a rod or actuator to another component, enabling precise angular movement and articulation. This connection is used in various control systems, hydraulic actuators, and steering or suspension mechanisms where the transmission of force and motion is required. By securing these joints, the component ensures that the crane controls, such as those for the boom or outriggers, function with the intended range of motion.

This component is specifically engineered for the American Crane 9310. It is designed to handle the tension and compression loads typical of crane operation, maintaining the integrity of the linkage points. Proper fitment of this clevis is necessary for the accurate operation of the machine's mechanical assemblies.

A clevis functions as a U-shaped fastener that uses a pin or bolt to join two parts while allowing for rotation around the axis of the pin. This type of connection is common in heavy machinery to link hydraulic cylinders to structural members or to connect control rods within steering and braking systems, providing a secure yet flexible joint that accommodates the movement of the machine during operation.
