Gibraltar 677024-G Bullet Straight Locating Pin Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 677024-G is a bullet-nose straight locating pin machined from steel for use in fixture, jig, and workholding applications. The pin features a 0.7498-inch nose diameter with a bullet-profile nose shape that guides workpieces onto the pin during loading, reducing misalignment and part damage. The nose length measures 9/16 inches, the tail diameter is 1.0018 inches, and the overall length (OAL) is 1-7/16 inches. The tail length is 3/4 inches. A relieved design reduces contact surface area for easier seating and cleaning. Tolerance is held at +0.0000 inches on the nose diameter. This pin is installed by toolmakers, fixture builders, and machining setup technicians.

This locating pin is suited for production machining environments where repeatable workpiece positioning is required. It is typically pressed or slip-fit into a tooling plate, fixture body, or jig plate to establish a fixed datum reference. The bullet nose geometry makes it well matched to applications where parts are loaded manually or with automated handling, as the tapered nose self-guides the workpiece onto the pin. The steel construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for repeated production cycles.

Key Features

• Bullet nose profile guides workpieces onto the pin, reducing loading errors
• Relieved shank design minimizes contact surface for cleaner seating and easier maintenance
• Steel construction provides durability in production fixture and jig applications
• +0.0000 inch tolerance on nose diameter for precise datum location
• Tail diameter of 1.0018 inches provides a secure press or slip fit in the tooling plate

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight locating pin for use in machining fixtures, jig plates, and tooling assemblies requiring a bullet-nose datum locator.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a toolmaker or fixture technician. Ensure the receiving bore in the fixture plate is clean and within the appropriate tolerance range before pressing or seating the pin. Power down and lock out any associated machine before servicing or replacing locating pins in an active fixture. Do not hammer directly on the nose of the pin; use a press or appropriate driver to avoid deforming the nose geometry.
