Pneumatic release pins
Pneumatic release pins
(OP)
i am trying to locate a supplier of pneumatic release pins. I have found manual (push-button) release pins (also called ball clips,hitch pins....u know a small tube with a spring loaded ball mounted perpendicular near the tip)
What i am looking for is one of these pins with a pin cylinder mounted on the end to release the ball on demand.
any hints.....or do i have to create my own??

i can do this when my part is horizontal, hole is vertical and part rests on shoulder of pin, however.....
Description of problem....part is vertical, threaded hole is horizontal. I want to transfer this part into space to be picked by a gripper. while transferring i dont want to loose the part (hence the ball)
Operation: base cylinder extends (horiz), pin cylinder extends (vert) into part, base cylinder retracts, gripper grips part, pin cylinder retracts leaving part.
