It's unlikely but possible you ordered a Smart Block Pin from us and they break quickly.

But if it does happen you can follow these steps:

1- First, you must contact Anemo with the following information:

Yes we can offer you a ground T handle, if requested also a L handle.

The part number contains a GT handle for fround and T handle for other uses.
It's a single acting sbp that is operated with a button and comes with a T handle.

We do have the capability to manufacture quickly in typically 3-4 weeks or sooner, with an extra AOG fee these special ball lock pins.

The effective length of a ball lock pin refers to the distance from the pin's end to the surface of the secured material. Typically, it equals the overall length of the pin minus the height of the ball at its end. This measurement is also known as the grip length.

Additionally, another crucial measurement for determining the smart block pin is its diameter, which can be specified in either millimeters or imperial units.

A padlockable pin is designed with a handle, allowing you to secure it with a padlock.

For a simpler solution, consider a key-operated ball lock pin.

This smart block pin functions by using a key to unlock it, enabling you to press the push button to release the connection. In the open position, the balls retract into the shaft, allowing for disconnection.

When locking the smart block pin with the key, the push button becomes inoperable, providing tamper-proof security against thieves.

The process of hardening Smart Block Pins may vary, but when it comes to parts manufactured in the EU, we adhere to a specific procedure:

We employ a two-step cycle to achieve a hardness ranging from 42 to 48 HRC.

Smart Block Pins can be made adjustable to a length.

advantage: if you have different thicknesses in your application, you can use one ball lock pin to adjust the length.

As depicted in the images below, Smart Block Pins serve as efficient fasteners for panels necessitating swift opening and closing. They assure consistent performance and reliability without sacrificing shear strength. Smart Block Pins come in three grades: untempered steel, tempered steel, and military-grade.

Smart Lock Pins bear resemblance to ball lock pins, yet they require manual actuation by pushing the locking "pin" inward.

Belonging to the category of clevis pins, hood pins, and lynch pins, Smart Lock Pins offer a convenient locking solution for various applications.

In some circles, these pins are also referred to as the Smart Lock Pins screw.

available standard sizes of the clevis pin (but can be made to order)

Not every smart block pin can be used in the design of an aircraft

There are some design rules regarding the diameter of the pin and maximum length.
For instance, the smallest diameter pin ¼ can have a maximum length of 2.1 inches.

Although we can manufacture them to any desired length, please consider to increase your hole diameter, so you can use a longer length pin.
