Fork Block

A fork-shaped block for the mating linkage defined by the assembly drawing. This fork block is defined by the equipment drawing and its mating interfaces.

Technical Overview

• Part: Fork Block

Fork Block Design and Assembly

• Mechanism interface: identify the mating lock assembly and the role of the ordered component.
• Engagement geometry: define the contact profile and the clearance around moving parts.
• Mounting references: show pivot, guide or fastening positions relative to the lock mechanism.

Material and Manufacturing Requirements

The material grade is to be defined with the order drawing. Identify the intended equipment and service environment so that the material requirement can be agreed before the manufacturing specification is finalized.

The manufacturing route should be agreed against the finished geometry and order quantity. Identify the surfaces and mating features that govern acceptance rather than specifying processes that are not required by the design.

Quotation Information

Specify fork opening, pin-hole positions, block thickness and the required movement clearance. Include the drawing revision, required quantity and any sample or inspection documentation needed for approval.
