Gibraltar LBT-147 Quick-release T-handle Pin 1/2 in 3 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-147 is a quick-release pin with a T-handle, designed for fast, tool-free removal in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and industrial equipment. The pin body is machined from 4130 alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It measures 0.5 inches in pin diameter with 3 inches of usable length, making it suited for moderate-load applications where frequent disassembly is required. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians install these pins in production fixtures, guards, hinges, and positioning stops.

This pin is a standard inch-system fastener intended for industrial and manufacturing environments. It fits applications where a clevis pin or cotter-pin setup would slow down repeated access or adjustment cycles. Typical installations include machine guards, tool rests, alignment fixtures, and removable structural members where a single-handed pull release is operationally necessary.

Key Features

• Quick-release mechanism allows tool-free, single-handed removal
• T-handle provides a positive grip for fast installation and extraction
• 4130 alloy steel construction for strength under repeated cycling
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection
• 0.5 inch pin diameter with 3 inches of usable length
• Inch-system sizing for compatibility with standard inch-dimensioned assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system quick-release pin for use in industrial fixtures, jigs, machine guards, and mechanical assemblies requiring tool-free disassembly.

Installation Notes

Quick-release pins are typically installed and serviced by machinists, maintenance technicians, or millwrights without specialized tools. Verify that the mating hole diameter and through-thickness match the pin specifications before installation. Inspect the release mechanism for debris or deformation during routine maintenance, and replace the pin if the locking ball or spring shows signs of wear that prevent full engagement.
