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

Release pins made from carbon steel grades 4.8, 8.8, and 12.9 offer exceptional durability and strength, making them ideal for use in the automotive and industrial equipment sectors. These grades of carbon steel are known for their ability to withstand high levels of stress and wear, ensuring reliability in demanding environments. The sizes ranging from M3 to M18 provide versatility, making these release pins suitable for various applications, from small parts in automotive systems to larger components in industrial machinery.

In automotive manufacturing, release pins are crucial for quick-release mechanisms and safety features, facilitating efficient assembly and disassembly of parts. For example, they are often used in suspension systems, brake assemblies, and door mechanisms. Their high tensile strength ensures that they can handle the forces exerted in these applications without compromising performance.

Similarly, in industrial machinery, release pins play a critical role in simplifying the maintenance of complex equipment. They allow for easy assembly, disassembly, and part replacement, reducing downtime and increasing operational efficiency. The high strength of these carbon steel pins ensures that they remain functional even under heavy-duty conditions, making them a go-to choice for industries like construction, mining, and material handling.

These pins are designed to meet the requirements of heavy-duty environments where regular wear and tear can be a concern. The material properties of carbon steel provide resistance to corrosion, though additional coatings may be applied depending on the specific environmental conditions. Overall, release pins made from carbon steel grades 4.8, 8.8, and 12.9 are indispensable in the automotive and industrial sectors due to their strength, reliability, and versatility.
