In How to Calculate Lug Stresses we spoke about lugs being a great way to transmit mechanical load when used with a clevis pin. The following equations will allow us to size the correct size pin for this application. Pin Bending Stress As a conservative approach, the load on the pin can be assumed as…

Essentially, a lug is just a plate with a hole in it! But when used with a clevis pin lugs are a useful way to transmit mechanical load through mechanical components with quick and easy installation. There are several failure modes to consider when it comes to sizing a lug. The following simplified method will…
