Pins Pull
Spring loaded pull pins allow you to quickly retract and engage the plunger for locating, fastening and quick change operations.
Two part assembly includes a 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. 3/8-16 Threaded end so you can add your own handle or knob. Zinc plated C1038 steel plugners and housings except 5/8 size which is 12L15 steel. Pull up force approx 2.2kg.

Simplify the assembly and reduce costs involved in securing ball bearings. One piece item where the locking function is performed by a spring peened into the top of the nut.
Nut Body: Low Carbon Steel. Locking Insert: Stainless Steel Hardness HB 201-269. The spring bears on the flank of the shaft thread with force (P) generating reaction force (P’) in the screw threads with a resulting high friction torque (prevailing torque). Unique slim body design. Secure locking without keyway and tab washer. One piece construction reduces stock and allows simpler, quicker assembly. Simple infinite adjustment. Re-usable up to 100 times. Resists vibration and shock. Equally effective for rotation in either direction even with rapid reversals.

Drawbar springs have long steel loops that pass through the centre of the spring and hook around the opposite end, compressing the spring on loading.
This design helps prevent unexpected overloading and fracturing that can occur in standard extension springs by stopping and hold the load at the spring limit. The spring rate indicates the load required to pull out the first 25mm of the spring. This category may be available in the new MBA online store at

Mounting hole specifications will be supplied on request. These springs are usually mounted on a drum and the free end attached to a loading force like a counterbalance. Free ID may vary to meet load specification. Load capacity can be increased by using multiple strips in tandem, back to back or laminated. Be sure to leave at least 40mm coiled on the drum at full extension. The spring ID will wrap tightly on the drum so that most applications require no fastening to the drum.

Individual Inserts for use with the Klik Thread Setter Tool
These threaded inserts can be used in blind or through hole applications. Can be used in almost any material over 2.38mm thick. As the insert is installed the threaded section is completely swaged into the sleeve portion of the hole, permitting them to be used with grade 8 screws. The installation hole size is determined by the density of the parent material. Can be pressed or otherwise compressed manually with a hammer for quick installation jobs in sheet material. Tools are available for assembly in blind holes or production assembly. Email us for a price on tools.
