J.W. Winco Inc. announced it offers GN 751-AL Aluminum Fork Heads (Yokes) with Shaft Safety Retaining Clip in metric sizes.
These RoHS-compliant fork heads are mainly used with pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, and consist of a fork head with KL-shaft safety or SL-shaft safety retaining clip. Type KL is a "single" shaft safety retaining clip; only one side secures the pin in place (therefore if bumped in the wrong way, may slip out of place). Type SL is a "double" shaft safety retaining clip; both sides are raised to secure the pin from both directions. To remove this retaining clip, users must pull up on the spring sheet metal.
The fork body and pin are anodized, black aluminum. The fork pin shaft safety retaining clip is spring steel, hardened and tempered, zinc-plated, and blue passivated. Because of the anodized coating of the fork head and pin, this component is virtually non-wearing, according to the company.
