LG/LM - Lockwell® Quick Release Pins
Description
These precision-made single-acting pins provide quick, easy, positive engagement for applications requiring frequent, repetitive use. Detent balls at end of pin fit snugly against mating surface for vibration-resistant performance. Pushbutton actuation lets balls retract into pin, allowing for easy insertion or removal.
Rugged designs in a variety of pin diameters, lengths, and construction materials satisfy a wide range of application requirements for locating, positioning, or retaining objects. All provide positive engagement with one-hand operation, making them a desirable alternative to nuts and bolts, cotter pins, or lynch pins.
- Robust construction delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio
- Single-acting pushbutton design makes use easier than basic interference-fit detent pins
- Push button to install or remove pin without resistance
- Spring loaded internal shaft re-engages detent balls for snug fit when button is released
- Multiple handle styles suit specific application needs €“ wide grip for gloved hand use, low profile head for minimal protrusion, recessed pushbutton for maximum protection against accidental disengagement
Available Options
- Available in standard two-ball construction, or optional four-ball construction for greater tension load capability
- Available in stainless-steel pin materials
- Available in multiple grades to suit military/aerospace standards or commercial applications
Standards & Specifications
- Minimum tension load capabilities range from 200 lbs. through 7,120 lbs., depending on pin size and design
- Shear strength for LG Series Pins range from 4,600 lbs. to 147,000 lbs. and for LM Series Pins range from 26,000 N to 718,000 N, depending on pin size and material
- All DZUS® Lockwell® LG- and LM-Series Pins meet or exceed the requirements of procurement specification NASM 23460 and NAS 1332, and are approved on the QPL for:
NAS 1333 through NAS 1346; NAS 1353 through NAS 1366; NAS 17984 through NASM 17990
