Pin Design
(OP)
I found most of my answers on here, but one remains. When talking about shear pins .577 of the Ultimate Stress is used for the failure point. I'm specing a pin for a hydraulic cylinder, but I don't want it to fail or yield. Does that mean I should use .577 of the yield strength?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you in advance.

Take a look at these previous threads:

RE: Pin Design
However I guess what I'm asking, is there a Yield Shear Strength or do pins not yield in shear? The cylinder clevis is only supported on one side and I don't want it to get bent under load.
Thanks again hopefully this helps clerify my question
