JW Winco, Inc., A Ganter Company, recently announced it has expanded its line of GN 113.10 Heavy Duty Ball Lock Pins Stainless Steel, with Stainless Steel Shank AISI 630.

The GN 113.10 stainless steel rapid release pins have an extreme load capacity and are used for quick fixing, connecting, and locking of various parts and workpieces. A typical application for the Ball Lock Pins is where they may need to be regularly moved in and out of position when connecting two components, but yet they require a more secure hold of those two components.

“By pressing the spring-loaded push button, both balls are unlocked and by releasing it, the balls are locked again,” said John Winkler, CEO, office of the president at JW Winco. “These heavy-duty ball lock pins are an excellent choice for certain corrosion-free applications.”

The entire Ball Lock Pin is manufactured of Stainless Steel. The shank (shaft) is manufactured of heavy duty, hardened and highly abrasion-resistant European Standard 1.4542 (AISI 630) Stainless Steel,  with the knob, push button and plunger pin being made of European Standard No. 1.4404 (AISI 316L), the balls European Standard No. 1.3541 (AISI 420C), and the spring European Standard No. 1.4565.
