Gibraltar LBT-SS7166 Quick-release T-handle Pin 5/8 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-SS7166 is a quick-release pin with a T-handle, designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in industrial, mechanical, and structural applications. The pin is machined from 17-4 stainless steel, a precipitation-hardening alloy that delivers high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and hardness. With a 5/8-inch diameter and 3-1/2 inches of usable length, this pin is sized for medium-duty fastening and alignment tasks. The bright finish provides a clean surface condition with no added coating to interfere with close-tolerance holes. Machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and assembly personnel commonly use this style of pin.

Quick-release T-handle pins are used in applications where repeated access, adjustment, or component removal is required without tools. Typical scenarios include jigs and fixtures, machine guards, agricultural equipment, carts, frames, and assemblies where a detent ball or spring-retention mechanism is required to hold the pin in place under vibration or dynamic load. The T-handle allows single-handed operation, making it practical in confined or high-cycle environments.

Key Features

• 17-4 stainless steel construction for high strength and corrosion resistance
• T-handle design enables tool-free, single-handed operation
• 5/8-inch pin diameter suits medium-duty structural and mechanical applications
• 3-1/2 inches of usable length accommodates a range of grip thicknesses
• Bright finish maintains close-tolerance fit in precision holes
• Quick-release retention mechanism holds pin securely under vibration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or aftermarket replacement quick-release pin for use in standard 5/8-inch diameter pin holes across industrial, agricultural, and mechanical assemblies requiring T-handle access.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — align the pin with the receiving hole and depress the release mechanism to insert or remove. Verify the hole diameter matches the 5/8-inch pin diameter and that the grip length of the assembly falls within the usable length of the pin. Inspect the detent balls or retention feature for wear during routine maintenance and replace the pin if the retention mechanism no longer holds securely under load.
