Note:
Minimum safety factor of 2.0 recommended for dynamic loads. Clevis/trunnion use double shear (2 lugs).
Reference
Shear Stress = F / (n_lugs × π/4 × d²) Bearing Stress = F / (n_lugs × d × t) Safety Factor = min(Allow_shear/τ, Allow_bearing/σ_b) Allow Shear = 20,000 psi (steel), Allow Bearing = 30,000 psi
