Gibraltar LBH-SS7153 Quick-release Pin 1/2 in 17-4 Ss

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBH-SS7153 is a quick-release pin with a ring handle, designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in industrial, mechanical, and structural assembly applications. The pin measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 2.5-inch usable length and is machined from 17-4 stainless steel with a bright finish. The 17-4 grade provides high tensile strength combined with corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments where carbon steel would corrode or fail. Maintenance technicians, fabricators, and equipment assemblers typically use this style of pin where frequent removal is required.

This quick-release pin fits applications that call for a 0.5-inch diameter clevis or hinge pin in industrial machinery, fixtures, jigs, and mechanical linkages. The ring handle allows single-hand operation without additional tools, which is useful in confined spaces or high-cycle assembly operations. It is suited for both light industrial and heavy fabrication environments where repeated pin engagement and disengagement is part of normal workflow.

Key Features

• 17-4 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and high tensile strength
• Bright finish for a clean, smooth surface that reduces friction on insertion
• Ring handle enables quick, tool-free pin removal with one hand
• 0.5-inch pin diameter suits standard clevis and hinge-pin applications
• 2.5-inch usable length accommodates typical fixture and linkage thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit quick-release ring-handle pin for industrial fixtures, jigs, mechanical linkages, and assemblies requiring a 0.5-inch diameter, 2.5-inch usable length stainless steel pin.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — align the pin with the mating hole and push through until the detent engages, then seat the ring handle in its resting position. Before removal, ensure all load is relieved from the pin to prevent the detent ball from binding under tension. Inspect the detent ball and spring mechanism for wear or corrosion at each service interval. Follow applicable facility lockout/tagout procedures before working on any assembly where this pin retains a load-bearing component.
