ISO 2340 Headless Clevis Pins (Plain and with Cotter Pin Holes) Specification reference image

ISO 2340 is the standard cited for headless clevis pins (plain and with cotter pin holes). This page sets out what the standard controls for this part, reproduces the dimensional table supplied against it, and notes the related designations referenced on drawings.

ISO 2340 — Scope

ISO 2340 is "Clevis pins without head".

Tolerance & Product Grades

ISO 2340 does not divide headless clevis pins (plain and with cotter pin holes) into product grades. Tolerances are given as limits on the individual dimensions in the table.

Where a general-tolerance class is cited on the drawing instead, it applies to the dimensions not otherwise toleranced.

Companion Standards

ISO 2340 controls the geometry of headless clevis pins (plain and with cotter pin holes). Surface finish is governed by separate finish standards such as ISO 4042 for electroplating, and corrosion testing by ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray). Mechanical performance is set by the documents specific to this part family — ISO 898-1 and ISO 898-2 apply to bolts, screws, studs and nuts, and not here.

When to Specify ISO 2340

Choose ISO 2340 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for headless clevis pins (plain and with cotter pin holes).

Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing

Need a pin to this standard in a non-standard size?

Parts built to ISO 2340 are already in the catalog, so a special is usually a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design — which is what keeps the cost down. Made by cold heading or turning.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

Technical Drawing

Customize the parameters below — every spec field is editable, and the drawing redraws to match the values you choose. Changing the size will snap the other fields to that size's standard values; you can then override any individual value.

Applications & Industries

Where Headless Clevis Pins are used, and what decides the specification in each case. Stocked from 3 mm to 100 mm (nominal diameter).

Industries that specify Headless Clevis Pins

  • Hydraulic cylinders rod-end connections.
  • Linkages pivot pins retained on both sides.
  • Agricultural equipment hitch and linkage pins.
  • Conveyors roller and chain pins.
  • Jigs, tooling & fixtures Locating plates and tooling so they reassemble in the same position.
  • Machine building Hinges, pivots and linkages carrying light to moderate shear.

Typical applications

  • pivoting a clevis without a head on one side
  • retaining with split pins at both ends
  • fitting where a head would foul
  • replacing worn linkage pins
  • pivot and hinge joints loaded in shear
  • quick connections made and broken by hand

Service conditions to specify against

Marine and coastal
Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
Hole preparation
The hole is half the specification: a ground dowel needs a reamed H7 hole, a grooved or spring pin will hold in a drilled one.

Where to use something else

  • Do not leave one end unretained; a headless pin walks out under vibration.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

  1. Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine
    01

    Cold heading

    Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

    Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.

  2. Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads
    02

    Thread rolling

    Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

    Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.

  3. Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment
    03

    Heat treatment

    Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

    Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.

  4. Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket
    04

    Surface treatment

    Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

    Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute ISO 2340 for the corresponding DIN standard on a drawing?

On modern drawings the ISO standard is the master reference; the older DIN equivalent is a cross-reference. For most dimensional purposes the parts are interchangeable, but check tolerance grades and the head height — these are the most common points of divergence.

Which edition of ISO 2340 does this table follow?

The table reproduces the dimensions we supply headless clevis pins (plain and with cotter pin holes) to. We do not publish an edition year against it, so where the edition is contractually significant, cite the edition you require on the enquiry and we will confirm it against the table before quoting.

What is ISO 2340?

ISO 2340 is "Clevis pins without head".

What does ISO 2340 specify for Headless Clevis Pins (Plain and with Cotter Pin Holes)?

ISO 2340 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of headless clevis pins (plain and with cotter pin holes). Material and property class are governed by separate documents.
