Detent Pins

Ball Lock Pins & Quick-Release Pins

Product Information

Quick-release alignment pin with a solid shank and spring-loaded locking balls. The integral head provides exact grip-length tolerance. Locking balls hold the pin in place by spring force (not positive locking like a Ball Lock Pin). Simply push the pin to insert, and pull to remove. Made in USA.

Available in pin diameters from 3/16 to 1" (6 to 12mm in metric), in stainless steel only. Standard grip lengths for each diameter are listed in the tables below, most in stock for same-day shipment. Detent Pins with special grip lengths up to 12” (300mm) can be quickly made to order. The Part Configurator link at the top of this page can be used for any Detent Pin, either standard or special.

Technical Information

Locking balls hold the pin in place by spring force. Simply push the pin to insert, and pull to remove. 3/16"-diameter pins have only one locking ball instead of two due to their small size.

Optional Cable

To order pins with a standard cable assembly attached (Cable Assembly CL-82-KA-12.0 — #2 cable size, 12" long, with a terminal at the free end for a #10 or M5 attachment screw), add "-C" to the part number:

CL-4-DEP-1.50-S-C

For an optional 10" nylon lanyard, add "-NL" to the part number:

CL-4-DEP-1.50-S-NL
