Applications

Ball lock pins are used in the automation industry to provide a quick and secure locking and release mechanism in various applications. These pins are versatile components that can be found in:

• Fastening systems
  
  
• Quick-change tools
  
  
• Fastening devices
  

In summary, ball lock pins are key elements in the automation industry, providing a fast, safe and reliable method of securing components and enabling quick changeover in production setups.

Example

The primary function of ball locking pins is to secure the position of a component or moving part in a machine or device. These pins consist of a steel or stainless steel ball that is inserted into a corresponding hole or slot. When the pin is pushed, the ball moves outward and locks into position, thus preventing any unwanted movement.

What distinguishes the different pin models is the shape of their handle:

Operation

When the push button is pressed, the balls are stored, allowing the pin to be released and thus separating the joined
pieces. When the button is released, the balls come out and resume their locking function.

Easy to use components and allow quick attachment and detachment without the need for additional tools. Very useful in situations where quick assembly or disassembly of components is required, such as on production lines where parts or tools are regularly changed.

Materials

The type of pin determines the materials of the component. Below is an example of the materials that make up the star-shaped grip model.

*The pins of our pins are made of stainless steel, corrosion resistant and with high load capacity, ideal for heavy loads and corrosive environments.
