APC MC0922 Retainer Locking Pin

The APC MC0922 Retainer Locking Pin is a precision-engineered fastening solution designed for professionals who demand reliability, repeatability, and rugged performance in demanding mechanical, industrial, and field-service environments. Built around a simple yet robust concept, the MC0922 combines high-tensile strength materials with precision machining and a fail-safe retention mechanism to create a pin that not only secures assemblies under load but also simplifies installation, inspection, and maintenance.

The MC0922 is engineered to do one job extremely well: hold components together reliably while resisting loosening from vibration, shock, or thermal cycling. Whether used as a retaining pin in an electrical cabinet assembly, a hinge pin in mechanical fixtures, a quick-release fastener for field-replaceable modules, or as part of a safety restraint system in industrial equipment, the MC0922 is built to maintain clamping integrity over long service intervals. The retainer mechanism provides positive locking that needs deliberate action to disengage, minimizing the risk of accidental release during operation or transport.

The shaft is machined from high-strength alloy (or stainless grade where corrosion resistance is required), heat treated for wear resistance, and finished to tight tolerances so the pin slides smoothly into bores yet resists shear and deformation under load. The retainer—an engineered spring clip or captive collar depending on configuration—is designed to maintain preload and return to position reliably even after repeated cycles of insertion and removal. This attention to materials and mechanics translates to fewer replacements, reduced downtime, and predictable field service life.

The MC0922’s head and grip profile are shaped to accommodate hand installation as well as common tools, enabling quick insertion and secure locking in confined spaces. Where access is limited, the pin’s head profile allows leverage with pliers or a punch while the retainer captures and holds without the need for secondary fasteners. Designers and maintenance engineers appreciate the MC0922’s combination of dimensional stability and tolerance compatibility.

From a safety and compliance perspective, the MC0922’s locking retainer minimizes human error. The locking action is visible and tactile: once engaged, a positive click and visible engagement give technicians immediate confirmation that the pin is secured. In safety-critical systems where inadvertent disengagement could cause equipment damage or personnel injury, that kind of feedback is invaluable. For regulated industries, the MC0922 is easy to audit during inspections because its status (locked vs. unlocked) is plainly apparent without specialized tools.

Automatic Pool Covers, Inc. took its first steps into the industry in 1979 as a small pool cover distributor. They continued to grow exponentially into the millennium, becoming a leader of the cover distributor industry. As continued to grow, they began to use their vast knowledge of the industry to develop and experiment with their own designs with the hope of making the most efficient, convenient and sturdy product.
