How to Correctly Measure an Axle Pin
Finding the Right Size Axle Pins for your Wheelchair
There are three things you need to consider when you're trying to find the right size axle pins.
- Your wheelchair's axle sleeve length
- The width of any spacers you're going to add (optional)
- The width of the hubs on the wheels that are going on the chair. This is measured as the width from the outside of one bearing to the outside of the other.
See this handy graphic that illustrates this with our Sumo Off-Road Wheels.
1/2" Dia Quick Release Wheelchair Axle Pin Buyer’s Guide
The 1/2" Dia Quick Release Wheelchair Axle Pin is a precision-engineered component built to securely lock rear wheels onto manual wheelchairs while enabling rapid, tool-free detachment. Designed for maximum strength and effortless operation, this quick-release pin simplifies routine maintenance, storage, and vehicle transport.
Push-Button Tool-Free Quick Release
Featuring a smooth push-button mechanism, this axle pin allows caregivers and users to remove or reattach rear wheelchair wheels in seconds. Pressing the central button retracts the detent balls, freeing the axle from the receiver tube without tools.
Secure Ball-Detent Locking System
The spring-loaded dual ball bearings at the tip of the shaft engage automatically once inserted through the wheel hub and frame socket. This positive-locking mechanism keeps the wheel locked in place during daily use and active maneuvering.
Universal 1/2-Inch Shaft Standard
With its 1/2" (12.7 mm) outer diameter, this axle pin aligns with industry standards for manual wheelchair rear wheel receivers. It delivers a snug fit that eliminates hub wobble and minimizes axle play for a smoother ride.
High-Strength Corrosion-Resistant Build
Constructed from hardened stainless steel, the shaft resists bending, shear fatigue, and outdoor exposure. The polished surface reduces insertion friction and protects internal frame sleeves from premature wear.
Travel and Storage Convenience
Removing the rear wheels drastically cuts down wheelchair weight and bulk, making it much easier to load into car trunks, travel bags, or tight storage spaces.
Sold Individually for Targeted Replacement
Offered as a single-unit purchase, this item lets you replace a worn or damaged pin without paying for an unneeded pair.

Exactly what we needed
We needed a pair of quick release wheelchair axles to adapt the SUMO all terrain wheelchair wheels to our Karman S-ERGO wheelchair. We also needed wheel bearings to provide sufficient offset for the wider SUMOs. It took a few tries but the result is well worth the effort and the cost.
