Screeds

What is a screed used for?

A clevis is a machined mechanical part designed to receive an axle, in order to create what is known in mechanics as a pivot link.

This mechanical assembly part is used in a wide variety of fields, including building, construction, automotive, architecture, industry and railways. Generally known and marketed as a U-shaped part. 

The purpose of the clevis is to enable mobile, pivoting assembly.

They are most often found at the ends of hydraulic cylinders, where there is a need for mobility around this pivot link in the assembly.

Some cylinders are marketed directly with clevises, most of which are welded, so by definition they don't provide the much-needed pivot connection.

Manufacture of screeds

Before we can start manufacturing our screeds, we have to select the raw material, for which we can rely on our cold-drawing in-house cold-drawing department.

Then we can begin the first stage of the machining process, which consists of cutting the steel to the appropriate cross-section and length for our future screed.

After this, we begin the first stage of use, which consists of roughing the part and removing excess material using our lathes, milling machines and other machine tools.

Next comes the tapping of our drawn steel. This is a crucial step in the manufacture of our machined clevis, since it is this clevis that will connect to your cylinder support.

Finally, we subject our screeds to various grinding and polishing operations (tribofinishing), as well as surface treatments to suit the assembly environment and requirements.
