Forged Clevis for Hydraulic Cylinders
Forged clevis components are widely used in hydraulic cylinders and heavy-duty mechanical systems where secure load transfer and structural strength are critical. Compared with machined or cast alternatives, a forged clevis provides improved grain flow, higher fatigue resistance, and longer service life under cyclic loads.
At Weforging, each forged clevis is manufactured through an integrated process combining closed-die forging, CNC machining, heat treatment, and strict inspection. This ensures stable dimensional accuracy, reliable mechanical performance, and consistent batch quality for OEM industrial applications.
What Is a Forged Clevis?
A forged clevis is a U-shaped mechanical connector designed to link cylinders, rods, or structural components using a pin connection. It allows controlled movement while maintaining high load capacity and alignment stability.
Forged clevis end fittings are commonly used in hydraulic systems because forging aligns the grain structure with the part geometry, improving strength and impact resistance compared with machined or cast parts.
Manufacturing Process of Forged Clevis
Forged clevis parts at Weforging are produced through a controlled process focused on strength, precision, and consistency.
Material Preparation
Suitable alloy or carbon steel is selected based on load and application requirements.Hot Forging
