For Clevis Pin — ISO / DIN (Series 101), DIN defines dimensions, tolerances and product grades. The sections below describe its scope, what it does NOT cover, and the equivalents across DIN, ISO and ASME.
DIN — Scope
DIN specifies the dimensions and tolerances of clevis pin — iso / din (series 101). Material, property class, surface finish and packaging are governed by separate documents in the same standards family (for example ISO 898-1 for the mechanical property classes of bolts and screws).
Tolerance & Product Grades
DIN, alongside the related ISO / DIN entries on this site, specifies product grades (typically A or B for fine work and C for general engineering) and tolerance classes for the controlling dimensions. Choose the grade against the precision your application requires.
Dimensions Specified by DIN
| Nominal diameter (mm) | Length L (mm) | Head diameter (mm) | Cotter pin hole (mm) | Material | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 16 | 5 | 1.0 | Carbon steel | ISO 2341 / GB/T 882 |
| 4 | 20 | 7 | 1.2 | Carbon steel | ISO 2341 / GB/T 882 |
| 5 | 25 | 8 | 1.6 | Carbon steel | ISO 2341 / GB/T 882 |
| 6 | 32 | 10 | 1.6 | Carbon steel | ISO 2341 / GB/T 882 |
| 8 | 40 | 12 | 2.0 | Carbon steel | ISO 2341 / GB/T 882 |
| 10 | 50 | 15 | 2.5 | Carbon steel | ISO 2341 / GB/T 882 |
| 12 | 63 | 18 | 3.2 | Carbon steel | ISO 2341 / GB/T 882 |
| 16 | 80 | 22 | 4.0 | Carbon steel | ISO 2341 / GB/T 882 |
| 20 | 100 | 28 | 4.0 | Carbon steel | ISO 2341 / GB/T 882 |
Equivalent Standards
Where direct equivalents exist (ISO ↔ DIN, ISO ↔ ASME), they are listed on the parent Clevis Pin — ISO / DIN (Series 101) page. Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.
When to Specify DIN
DIN is still widely used in European mechanical engineering and as a cross-reference on legacy drawings; its ISO equivalent is preferred for new designs.
