 BALL LOCK PINS
 
FEATURES: Precision alignment pin with a ground shank. This popular single-acting type is positive locking until released by pushing the button, which moves the center spindle forward to allow the locking balls to retract into a radial groove. This type has the widest range of types and sizes. Available in steel or stainless steel.
 
SIZES: Choice of four handle styles: T, L, Button, and Ring. Standard shank diameters from 3/16 to 1" (5 to 20mm in metric). Any grip length up to 6" (150mm in metric) is available as standard, at no extra charge. Available from stock in many standard grip lengths, or quickly made to order in custom lengths and diameters.
 
MATERIAL (STEEL): Shank > 4130 steel, heat treated Rc 36-40, zinc or cadmium plated. Spindle > 4130 steel, cadmium plated, or 17-4PH stainless. Handle > Aluminum alloy, black finish. R-handle ring > 302 stainless. Button > Aluminum alloy, anodized. Collar > Carbon steel, cadmium plated, or 300-series stainless. Spring and ring > 17-7PH/302 stainless, or music wire. Balls > 440C stainless. Note: alternative materials listed here are manufacturing options, not customer options.
 
MATERIAL (STAINLESS): Shank > 17-4PH/15-7MO stainless, heat treated Rc 40 min. Spindle > 17-4PH/15-7MO stainless. Handle > Aluminum alloy, black finish. R-handle ring > 302 stainless. Button > Aluminum alloy, anodized. Collar > 300-series stainless. Spring and ring > 17-7PH/302 stainless. Balls > 440C stainless.

 HEAVY-DUTY BALL LOCK PINS
 
FEATURES: Similar to our standard single-acting Ball Lock Pins, except with a larger, heavier handle for rough service. Available only in stainless steel. Handles are made of solid stainless steel for maximum impact strength (high-strength reinforced plastic optional), and are specially shaped to prevent accidentally pressing the release button.
 
SIZES: Choice of four handle styles: T, L, Button, and Ring. Shank diameters from 3/16 to 1/2" (5 to 12mm in metric), each in a choice of many standard grip lengths. Available from stock only in standard grip lengths (not made to order).
 
MATERIAL (STAINLESS HANDLE): Shank > 17-4PH/15-7MO stainless, heat treated Rc 40 min. Spindle > 17-4PH/15-7MO stainless. Handle > 17-4PH stainless. R-handle ring > 302 stainless. Head and button > 303 stainless steel. Collar > 300-series stainless. Spring and ring > 17-7PH/302 stainless. Balls > 440C stainless. Note: alternative materials listed here are manufacturing options, not customer options.
 
MATERIAL (PLASTIC HANDLE): Same as above except handle is made of reinforced composite resin plastic (green).

 MARINE BALL LOCK PINS
 
FEATURES: Similar to our standard single-acting Ball Lock Pin in stainless steel, except this type has its handle and button made of 300-series stainless steel (instead of aluminum) for extra corrosion resistance in marine environments. Available only in stainless steel.
 
SIZES: Choice of two handle styles: Recessed Button (M), and Ring (R). Shank diameters from 3/16 to 1/2" (5 to 12mm in metric), each in a choice of many standard grip lengths. Available from stock only in the standard grip lengths listed (other grip lengths available as specials).
 
MATERIAL (STAINLESS): Shank > 17-4PH stainless, heat treated Rc 40 min. Spindle > 17-4PH stainless. Handle and button > 300-series stainless. Spring and ring > 17-7PH/302 stainless. Balls > 440C or 300-series stainless. Note: alternative materials listed here are manufacturing options, not customer options.

 ADJUSTABLE BALL LOCK PINS
 
FEATURES: These Ball Lock Pins have an adjustable grip length. They can be used for clamping, or simply to provide a variable grip length. The threaded handle turns to provide a 1/2" clamping range or adjustment range. When used just for variable grip length (not for clamping), the handle can be secured with the supplied knurled locknut. These single-acting pins are manufactured with four balls as standard, instead of two, for more-distributed ball-pullout force in clamping applications. Available in steel or stainless steel. Patent no. 3,101,641.
 
SIZES: Choice of three handle styles: Knob, T, and L. Standard shank diameters from 1/4 to 1" (6 to 20mm in metric), each in a choice of many standard grip lengths. Available from stock only in the standard grip lengths listed. Other grip lengths are available as specials (extra charge and longer delivery time).
 
MATERIAL (STEEL): Shank > 4130 steel, heat treated Rc 36-40, zinc plated. Spindle > 17-4PH stainless. T & L Handle > Aluminum alloy, black finish. Knob Handle > 319 aluminum alloy. Head and Locknut > Carbon steel, zinc plated. Button > Aluminum alloy, anodized. Spring > 17-7PH/302 stainless, or music wire. Balls > 440C stainless. Note: alternative materials listed here are manufacturing options, not customer options.
