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

Stainless steel release pins, particularly those made from SS304, SS316, and SS316L, are the perfect choice for use in marine and oil & gas industries due to their superior resistance to corrosion and harsh environments. The use of stainless steel ensures that these pins maintain their integrity and performance even in extreme conditions where exposure to water, chemicals, and high temperatures is common. Available in sizes ranging from M3 to M18 and conforming to ASTM A193 and A194 standards, these release pins are essential components in industries where reliability is critical.

In the marine industry, these release pins are commonly used in shipbuilding, offshore rigs, and navigation equipment. Due to their resistance to saltwater corrosion, SS304, SS316, and SS316L stainless steel release pins are ideal for securing and releasing parts that may be exposed to harsh oceanic environments. These pins provide a quick-release mechanism, facilitating the maintenance and repair of marine vessels and offshore platforms, ensuring that downtime is minimized and operations run smoothly.

Similarly, in the oil and gas industry, stainless steel release pins are integral to equipment like pipelines, drilling rigs, and valves, where safety and reliability are of utmost importance. The pins facilitate easy assembly and maintenance, helping to ensure that critical operations are performed without interruption. Given the potentially explosive environments in which these industries operate, these release pins are designed to provide a safe and secure method of assembly and disassembly, with minimal risk of failure.

The corrosion-resistant properties of SS304, SS316, and SS316L stainless steel make these release pins particularly well-suited to the aggressive conditions encountered in both marine and oil & gas industries. Whether used in high-pressure systems, underwater applications, or chemical handling, these pins deliver exceptional performance, durability, and safety, making them an indispensable part of operations in these sectors.
