Quick-Release & Locking Components
Ball Lock Pins
Ball lock pins provide quick, positive locking for removable and frequently adjusted components in industrial equipment, fixtures and automation applications.
Ball Lock Pins for Quick-Release Locking
Ball lock pins provide fast, removable locking where components need to be installed, adjusted or released repeatedly. Locking balls retain the pin after insertion, while the release mechanism allows quick removal without a separate nut, bolt or retaining fastener.
Typical Applications
- Jigs and fixtures
- Assembly and inspection tooling
- Industrial machinery
- Automation equipment
- Changeover components
- Removable or adjustable equipment interfaces
Selecting a Ball Lock Pin
Key selection parameters include pin diameter, grip length, usable length, handle or operating configuration, mating interface and application environment.
Material or finish requirements can also be reviewed where specified.
Mating Interfaces
Ball lock pins engage with a suitable mating hole, receiver or retaining interface depending on the pin design and application.
The mating geometry should be reviewed together with pin diameter, grip length and installation requirements.
Standard & Modified-Standard Requirements
Standard configurations can be reviewed against your required dimensions and application.
Modified-standard requirements such as grip length, pin dimensions, operating configuration or material requirements can also be reviewed based on feasibility.
