Product description

Safety and mechanical precision are maintained by this blockage pin spring, a vital component for locking and securing moving parts in automotive service machinery. This spring provides the necessary tension to hold a blockage or locking pin in place, ensuring that arms, towers, or clamps remain stationary until intentionally released by the technician. Manufactured from high-tensile spring steel, it is designed to provide consistent force over a long service life, resisting the fatigue that can cause lesser springs to weaken. In the demanding environment of a tire changer, this spring ensures that the tilt-tower or swing-arm stays securely locked during the high-stress mounting process. A failing or broken blockage pin spring can lead to sudden mechanical movements that pose a safety risk to the operator and can cause damage to the customer's vehicle.
