The Tailgate Cylinder Linkage Pin connects the tailgate cylinder to the tailgate latch mechanism. It acts as a pivot point, allowing the cylinder to move back and forth, which in turn controls the opening and closing of the tailgate. When the tailgate cylinder is activated, it pushes or pulls on the linkage pin, causing it to rotate. This rotation then engages or disengages the tailgate latch, allowing the tailgate to open or close accordingly.Attributes:• Hardened to Rockwell hardness of C 57 minimum, which determines it's resistant to deformation and wear• Provides paramount stability and guidance and prevents slippageApplications:The Tailgate Cylinder Linkage Pin connects the tailgate cylinder to the tailgate latch mechanism, acting as a pivot point for controlled movement and contributing to the stability, alignment, and durability of the tailgate unit.
