Pin Connection
(OP)
We are using a pin connection on a hitch for towing equipment. I am wondering if i can use the equations for bolt design?

RE: Pin Connection
I am not sure which equations for bolt design you are referring to however you need to check for shearing of pin (double shear), bearing and crushing stress on the pin recepticle and pin.
RE: Pin Connection
F(shear) = 0.5Sy * A(shear)
F(bearing) = 1.2Su * A(bearing)
F(tensile) = 0.6Sy * A(tensile)
What do you mean crushing stress?
RE: Pin Connection
sorry crushing I guess means the same as bearing I should of added bending of the pin.
Those are allowable stresses not bolt equations but they look reasonable to me
