Product Description:

What is a quick release pin?
Quick release pins, also known as ball lock pins, locking pins or safety pins, have a wide range of applications. They are used for securing, locking, connecting, adjusting and facilitating quick position changes.

When paired with a receiver plate, these pins provide a reliable and secure locking feature. The design ensures ease of use and facilitates quick changeover and replacement of parts as needed.

Quick release pins are highly resistant to shear, corrosion and wear. This makes them ideal for applications that require frequent, quick, manual assembly and disassembly of products.

Quick release pins are fastening connectors for quick locking and removal of workpieces, and can be used to quickly connect and hook up components. Pressing the button on the handle can make the steel ball on the head of the pin body retract and push the quick release pin through the hole of the workpiece; when the button is released, the steel ball pops out and the quick release pin can not be pulled out from the hole.

The pin body diameter and clamping length are processed with high precision, which is suitable for all kinds of high-precision positioning and insertion. Can be customised according to customer's requirements.

Quick Release Pin Head and Handle Styles
Quick release pins usually have a pin and a handle and come in a variety of handle styles. As such, they can also be categorised by head/handle type:
T-Handle Quick Release Pins, Ring Handle Quick Release Pins, L-Handle Quick Release Pins, Push Button Handle Quick Release Pins, Double Acting Quick Release Pins, Lifting Pins

T-Handle A wide range of handles featuring a T-shaped handle for a firm grip and simple operation. Attached parts are easily released by pulling and holding the handle.

L-Handle Quick-Release Pins A compromise between the ring handle and T-Handle variants. The release mechanism has an L-shaped handle on only one side of the pin. These are suitable for applications where a firm grip is required but there are space constraints.

Applications

Carbon steel release pins in grades 4.8, 8.8, and 12.9, with sizes ranging from M3 to M18 and 4 5/16, are integral components in aerospace and precision engineering industries. These industries require components that can handle extreme mechanical stresses, high temperatures, and rigorous standards. The high strength of these carbon steel release pins ensures that they meet these exacting requirements while providing secure and reliable fastening solutions.

In aerospace applications, release pins are used in a variety of critical systems, such as aircraft assembly lines, landing gear mechanisms, and wing attachment points. These pins are crucial for ensuring that parts can be quickly and safely released during maintenance or emergency situations. The strength of carbon steel grades 4.8, 8.8, and 12.9 ensures that these pins can withstand the vibrations, stresses, and high loads typically encountered in aerospace environments.

Precision engineering industries also rely on these release pins for their high-performance needs. In industries such as automotive engineering, robotics, and manufacturing of high-tech equipment, the reliability of release pins is paramount. Carbon steel pins provide the necessary durability and precision, making them an excellent choice for securing components in automated systems, machinery, and assembly lines.

Furthermore, the materials used in the manufacturing of these release pins are designed to meet stringent quality standards such as ASTM A193 and A194, ensuring that they deliver consistent performance in high-stress environments. These carbon steel release pins are an essential part of ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency in both aerospace and precision engineering applications.
