Fairlane Products Introduces New Accessories for Quick Release Ball Lock Pins!

Fairlane Products has expanded its range of accessories designed to enhance the functionality of its Quick Release Ball Lock Pins, offering a variety of components tailored to meet the needs of different industrial applications. These accessories, including flanged receptacles, end caps, and wire rope lanyard assemblies, have been specifically developed to address the requirements of fastening, locating, and retention in various manufacturing and assembly operations.

The flanged receptacles are an essential accessory for those using Quick Release Ball Lock Pins. Available in both inch and metric sizes, these receptacles provide a secure, permanent mating hole for the pins, ensuring a strong and reliable connection. Particularly effective in blind-hole conditions, the flanged receptacles are ideal for applications where the pin cannot lock against the material due to the absence of a through-hole. These receptacles can be mounted using screws, rivets, or bolts, offering flexibility in installation. Made from stainless steel, they are available in a variety of shapes including diamond, oblong, rectangle, and round, some of which come with threaded bodies for added convenience. They are compatible with pin diameters ranging from 3/16 to ½ inch and 5 to 12 mm, making them versatile for various pin sizes.

Another key accessory is the stainless steel end caps, which are designed to fit over the end of the ball lock pin. These caps are particularly useful in applications where the receiving hole is oversized or out of round, eliminating the need for traditional cotter or hitch pins. The end caps facilitate quick-change operations without the need for tools, improving efficiency and reducing downtime. These caps are also made from durable stainless steel and come in both plain end and tapped end versions, available in inch and metric sizes. They can be used with pin diameter sizes ranging from 3/16 to 5/8 inch and 5 to 16 mm, offering broad compatibility with a range of ball lock pins.

To further improve the usability of the Quick Release Ball Lock Pins, wire rope lanyard assemblies have been introduced. These lanyards are designed to securely attach the pins to surrounding structures, minimizing the risk of misplacement during disassembly or repositioning. The wire rope lanyard assemblies are made from 7×7 stainless steel wire, ensuring durability and strength. They are available in both covered and uncovered options, with vinyl-covered lanyards available in clear, black, or green colors. The lanyards come in different end configurations, such as loop, loop eyelet, tear drop, and rectangular ends, and are available in diameters of 1/16 and 3/64 inch. The length of the lanyards ranges from 6 to 12 inches, providing flexibility to suit different operational needs.

Overall, these new accessories from Fairlane Products are designed to make Quick Release Ball Lock Pins more versatile, efficient, and secure in a wide range of industrial settings. By offering solutions for better pin retention, quick-change operations, and ease of use, Fairlane continues to provide innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of modern manufacturing processes.
