Lot 2 forged steel alloy yolks cylinder rod ends 5/8-24
These handy little yolks were received in a load of salvage freight recently, and we do not have a clue what they were originally intended for. We added the 5/8-11 Grade 5 bolts since they happened to fit, and because some people have trouble locating fine thread fasteners locally (without getting robbed). These would be ideal for hydraulic and/or pneumatic cylinders, or perhaps for creating adjustment links on mechanical assemblies. You will probably come up with a lot more uses. They are made of drop forged alloy steel and they ring like a bell when struck lightly. If nothing else you can run strings through them and make wind chimes.
The specifics for the yolks (without the bolts) are as follows:
Overall length (approx.): 2.367"
Overall depth inside yolk (approx.): 1.811"
Diameter of connecting pin holes: .625" (5/8")
Depth inside yolk from center of connecting pin holes (approx.): 1.315"
Width inside yolk at connecting pin holes: .550"
Width outside yolk at connecting pin holes: 1.237"
Thickness of yolk sides at connecting pin holes (approx.): .345"
Overall width of yolk measured perpendicular to connecting pin (approx.): 1.003"
Outside diameter of threaded portion (approx.): .890"
