BS ISO 3584:2020 pdf download.Road vehicles — Clevis couplings — Interchangeability.
1 Scope
This document specifies the characteristics necessary for the mounting and interchangeability of clevis couplings on the frame (cross member, drawbeam or mounting bracket) of towing vehicles for trailers.
This document is applicable to clevis couplings intended for connection to trailers equipped with a drawbar eye on the drawbar of the trailer.
Characteristics not specified are left to the discretion of the component manufacturer.

4 Designation
4.1 Reference may be made to this document both for clevis coupling mounting dimensions on the frame and for the separate clevis coupling.
4.2 Frames in conformance with this document shall be identified by the following information, in the order given:
a) reference to this document;
b) number of the category according to Table 1.
EXAMPLE Frames with mounting dimensions according to category 3:
Crossmernbcr (or drawbearn or mounting bracket) ISO 3584 Category 3
5.2 Dimensional requirements on frame for mounting clevis coupling
Dimensions on the frame required for mounting of the clevis coupling (see Figure 2), such as the
minimum flat surface defined by dimensions F and G, shall be as given in Table 2. Tolerances on drilling pattern dimensions shall be as shown in Figure 1.
6 Clevis Couplings
6.1 General
The requirements of 6.2 to 6.4 are applicable to all clevis couplings. Additional requirements applicable to C 40, C 50 and classified clevis couplings of both dimensions are given in 6.5.
6.2 Load requirements
The clevis coupling shall satisfy the tests specified in ISO 8718 or ISO 12357 or both.
6.3 Dimensional requirements
The maximum outer dimensions of all components of the clevis coupling shall be within the envelope box defined in Table 3 (see Figure 3).
In order to permit safer operation of the clevis coupling, there shall be adequate free space around actuating devices. Dimensions needed to ensure operating clearance for actuating devices are also shown in Figure 3.BS ISO 3584 pdf download.
