Gibraltar LBT-137 Quick-release Pin 3/8 in T-handle 4130 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-137 is a T-handle quick-release pin designed for fast, tool-free pin retention in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and industrial equipment. The pin features a 3/8 inch diameter shaft with 2.5 inches of usable length, constructed from grade 4130 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. The T-handle configuration allows single-hand insertion and removal without tools, making it well suited for applications that require frequent disassembly or adjustment. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians commonly specify this type of pin where repeatable, secure positioning is needed.

This quick-release pin is appropriate for use in manufacturing fixtures, tooling setups, agricultural equipment, material handling, and general mechanical assemblies that operate in the inch measurement system. The 3/8 inch pin diameter and 2.5 inch usable length fit a range of standard pin-retention applications in both light industrial and heavy-duty shop environments where steel construction and a zinc-plated finish meet the requirements.

Key Features

• T-handle design allows tool-free, single-hand insertion and removal
• 3/8 inch pin diameter with 2.5 inches of usable length
• Grade 4130 steel construction for strength and durability
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard T-handle quick-release pin for use in mechanical fixtures, jigs, tooling, and equipment assemblies requiring a 3/8 inch diameter pin with 2.5 inches of usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation is tool-free: align the pin with the mating hole and press until the release mechanism seats, then pull the T-handle to remove. Verify that the usable length is sufficient to pass through all mating components before installation. Ensure all equipment is de-energized or de-pressurized and in a stable resting state before inserting or removing the pin. Inspect the pin and detent mechanism periodically for wear, deformation, or corrosion that could affect secure retention.
