The function of lock pins differs greatly from the function of R-clips. The locking pin of the lock pin is much more robust in comparison to the rest of the structure. A wire made from elastic steel in the shape of a circle is embedded in the pin whereby the pin is secured to the stub. As follows from the principle of the design, lock pins (locking pins) can only be used on the ends of stubs and are not possible to use for connecting tubes. Straight lock pins are often used for frequently dismantled securing assemblies because they offer the best combination with regards to ease of installation and the strength of the locking system. This type of lock pin is manufactured according to the DIN 11023 standard which guarantees that the lock pin fulfils all requirements. Straight lock pins are available in both zinc plated and stainless steel versions. This type of lock pin is supplied in the sizes 4.5 - 11 mm. You can rest assured you will find the size you need.
