Gibraltar mqr-ss-1047 Ball Lock Hitch Pin Stainless Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR mqr-ss-1047 is a ball lock hitch pin made from uncoated stainless steel, designed for quick-release fastening in mechanical, industrial, and equipment maintenance applications. The pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in total length, with a usable length of 1.25 inches. The ball lock mechanism provides positive retention without tools, allowing fast insertion and removal under load or in repetitive-service environments. Hardness is rated at Rockwell C 25-34, giving the pin solid resistance to wear and deformation during regular use. Maintenance technicians, equipment assemblers, and field service professionals are the primary installers of this type of fastener.

This ball lock hitch pin is suited for use in light-duty to medium-duty clevis, linkage, and pivot-pin applications where tool-free removal is required. It is commonly used in agricultural equipment, material handling machinery, hydraulic cylinder clevises, and general mechanical assemblies. The uncoated stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in moisture-exposed or corrosion-prone environments where coated carbon steel would degrade prematurely. Sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Ball lock retention mechanism allows tool-free, one-handed pin removal
• Uncoated stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or outdoor environments
• Rockwell C 25-34 hardness provides resistance to wear and deformation
• 0.25 inch pin diameter with 1.25 inches of usable length for precise fitment
• Compact 1.5 inch overall length suits space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension ball lock hitch pin for use in clevis, linkage, and pivot-pin assemblies requiring a 0.25 inch diameter quick-release fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools. Align the pin with the mating hole in the clevis or linkage, depress the ball detent, insert fully, and release to lock. Before servicing or replacing this pin on powered equipment, de-energize or lock out the machine per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the ball detent mechanism for wear or deformation before reuse in critical retention applications.
