Product catalog summary
Overview: The PinLock Mounting System is designed to streamline the process of positioning and clamping fixture plates and subplates. It requires at least two locators, either a primary and a secondary or two primary bushings for enhanced accuracy. The system includes liner bushings to minimize wear and receiver bushings for precise locating and clamping.
Features:
  • Extraction assist for side load conditions.
  • Stronger holding forces with pins.
  • Compatibility with existing systems.
  • Constructed from high-strength alloy steel with a black oxide finish.
  • Heat-treated components with a hardness of RC 46-50.
  • Operational temperature range from -49° to 400°F.
Technical Specifications: The system uses a helical extraction design to prevent binding under side loads and facilitate easy removal. The pin assembly engages with line contact for a secure lock.
Part Specifications: The document provides detailed specifications for various parts, including shank diameter, fixture plate thickness, head height, and recommended screw torque. Holding forces range from 2,250 lbs to 15,200 lbs depending on the part number.
Receiver Bushings: Two types are available: Face Mount for blind hole applications and Back Mount for through hole applications. Installation should ensure bushings are approximately 0.012” below the subplate surface.
Liner Bushings: These are used to reduce wear on fixture plates. The choice between primary and secondary liners depends on the required locating repeatability, with two primary liners offering a repeatability of ±.0005” if the centerline distance is maintained within ±.0002” tolerance.
Installation Notes: For press fit liners and back mount style receiver bushings, the maximum interference fit should not exceed 0.0005” to avoid binding.

NEW PinLock Mounting System TM Locating and Clamping Shanks Designed to reduce time spent accurately positioning and clamping fixture plates and subplates. A system requires a minimum of two PinLock locators – a primary and a secondary locator – or two primary bushings can be used to achieve higher accuracy. Liner bushings are used to reduce wear on fixture plates, while receiver bushings are used with the PinLock for locating and clamping. For larger subplates, additional PinLocks may be used where higher holding force is required (additional clearance required so as not to influence the primary and secondary locators). Pin assembly engages and creates a locking force with line contact, as opposed to point contact used by competitive systems. Helical extraction design aids in overcoming binding in side load conditions and enhances removal of the PinLock in any application. Features • Extraction assist for side load conditions. • Pins provide stronger holding forces. • Compatible with existing systems. • Material: Shank/Bushing, high strength alloy steel • Finish: Black Oxide • Heat Treat: - Shanks, RC 46-50 - Bushings, RC 46-50 - Liners, RC 46-50 • Operating Temperature Range: -49° to 400°F Shank Fixture Plate Dia.
