What is BS ISO 6489-5 - Non-swivel clevis couplings about?
ISO 6489 series discusses standards for agricultural vehicles.
ISO 6489-5 specifies the requirements for non-swivel clevis couplings used for the attachment of agricultural trailers and implements equipped with a swivel hitch ring as specified in ISO 6489-5 to the rear of self-propelled agricultural vehicles.
The non-swivel clevis coupling shall be located and mounted in the plane of the tractor's or towing vehicle's longitudinal axis. The coupling shall be located as high as possible, without any part of the clevis/ring coupling or its construction (keeper) entering the clearance zone specified for the power take-off in ISO 500‑1. Tolerances on dimensions without individual tolerance indications shall be in accordance with ISO 2768‑1, tolerance class c. Limits and fits shall be in accordance with ISO 286‑1.
Who is ISO 6489-5 - Non-swivel clevis couplings for?
ISO 6489-5 on non-swivel clevis couplings used for agricultural vehicles is applicable to:
- Agricultural vehicles manufacturers
- Towed or towing vehicles manufacturers
- Non-swivel clevis manufacturers
- Organizations that design, build and maintain non-swivel clevis coupling
- Industries such as Automobiles, Aircraft, Boats, Constructions make use of clevis Fasteners
- Agriculture industries/professionals
- Quality control personnel
- Inspection bodies
- Design engineers
- Research and development team
Why should you use ISO 6489-5 - Non-swivel clevis couplings?
The function of clevis is to connect or fasten and secure loads to construction machinery, pickup trucks, and trailers. Clevises can even be used to secure loads to an aircraft.
ISO 6489-5 provides you with design requirements that you need to adhere to. Following the guidelines given in ISO 6489-5 helps you to design effective non-swivel clevis. ISO 6489-5 also provides you with shapes and dimensions of non-swivel clevis coupling devices. Following the specifications provided in ISO 6489-5 lets you manufacture and supply high quality non-swivel clevis to your customers.
Non-swivel clevis can be easily removed and replaced without scrapping the entire chain sling if a clevis hook becomes damaged due to stretch, bending, or cracking. ISO 6489-5 specifies the clear visualization of non-swivel clevis couplings placement.
