Technical Information

Double-Acting Ball Lock Pins are positive locking until released by either pushing or pulling the center spindle, which is connected to the handle. Pushing on the handle releases the balls and inserts the pin in one motion. Pulling on the handle releases the balls and removes the pin in one motion.

Optional Drive Out

Double-acting pins are available with a "Drive-out" option, where the center spindle extends slightly beyond the shank end. This allows removing a pin under slight shear load by tapping the end with a hammer (releasing the balls at the same time). Add "-D" to the part number.

Optional 4 Ball

Pins are optionally available with four balls instead of two, for more-distributed ball-pullout force. Add "-4BALL" to the part number.

Optional Cable

To order pins with a standard cable assembly attached, add "-C" to the part number.
