Avenger flange pin 16 mm steel Avenger E650

Avenger E650 is a 16 mm steel flange pin engineered for mechanical fastening and alignment of lighting stands, grip equipment and rigging assemblies. The steel construction and flanged head provide a solid connection and improved load distribution where 16 mm-compatible sockets, adapters or receivers are used. Its compact form factor and durable material make it suitable for repeated assembly and disassembly in stage, studio and event environments.

Advantages

The flange head increases contact area to reduce local stress on stand tubes and adapters, while the steel body ensures high shear strength and long service life. The simple cylindrical shaft is compatible with standard 16 mm sockets and adapters, providing predictable alignment and easy insertion. The robust construction resists deformation under typical loads encountered in lighting and grip setups, offering stable, repeatable connections during installations and breakdowns.

Suitable for

• Mounting and aligning lighting stands and tripod supports
• Securing grip heads, clamps and adapters with 16 mm fittings
• Temporary or semi-permanent rigging in theatres, studios and event stages
• Replacing worn or lost 16 mm alignment pins on grip equipment

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Shaft diameter: 16 mm
• Flanged head for increased contact area
• Designed for use with 16 mm-compatible sockets and adapters
• Intended for mechanical fastening, alignment and shear load transfer

How to use

Align the mating components so the 16 mm receiving hole or socket is accessible, then insert the flange pin fully until the flanged head seats against the outer surface. Ensure the pin passes through both parts that require fastening; secure with the appropriate retaining device if the assembly design calls for a cotter pin, clip or set screw. Inspect the seating and clearances after insertion to confirm correct alignment and engagement before applying load.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the pin for wear, corrosion or deformation, especially when used in outdoor or high-humidity environments. Replace the pin if the shaft shows signs of galling or reduced diameter to maintain safe and reliable connections. Use matching 16 mm sockets and quality retaining hardware to ensure proper load transfer and to prevent accidental disengagement during operation.
