These spring loaded pull pins allow you to quickly retract and engage the plunger for locating, fastening and quick change operations. They consist of two parts which include a housing (barrel) and a plunger assembly. The plunger assembly screws into the housing. The housing is designed to be welded into place for strength. Pulling on the handle of the plunger assembly retracts the plunger into the housing. Releasing the handle allows the spring loaded plunger to extend. The lockout style allows you to pull and rotate the handle 1/4 turn to hold the plunger in the retracted position. The style without handles feature a 3/8-16 threaded end so the user can add a different handle or other method of actuation. The zinc plated steel plunger assemblies are made from C1038 steel on all sizes except the 5/8 which is made from 12L15 steel. The steel housing is made from 12L15 steel for welding to the fixture and is not plated. The aluminum housings are made from 6061-T6. The stainless steel models (plunger assembly and housing) are made from 303 stainless steel. Pull up force is approximately 5 lbs. Handles are made from black plastic.
