Hello colleagues and thank you for the helpful responses. I was specifically looking for an airtight clutch lock for this particular application. These are the responses:
Fillauer PM101 titanium body clutch lock with pyramid base - this is airtight as advertised in their catalogue but poorly marketed as such I think
WillowWood Alpha Lock square aluminum base with or without pyramid - WillowWood promotes this and some similar locks as part of their “Interlock” system, where you can switch from suction to locking. This lock has an integrated expulsion valve - YES!
WillowWood also makes a “Lamination Lock” which relies on an 0-ring washer at the top of the pin to make the system airtight
other suggestions were similar to this: just use a small o-ring on the top end of the pin.
Ossur Icelock hybrid lock 562 was also suggested but this is click lock, not clutch.
Thanks again for the helpful insights.
