Gibraltar 677028-G Bullet Straight Locating Pin Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 677028-G is a bullet straight locating pin designed for precision fixturing and workholding applications. It features a bullet-shaped nose with a 0.9998 inch nose diameter and a 0.75 inch nose length, allowing it to guide and seat components accurately during machining or assembly operations. The pin is relieved, reducing contact surface to minimize friction and ease part loading. Constructed from steel, it provides the durability required in production environments. With a 1.625 inch overall length, this compact pin is suited for applications where tight positional tolerances are critical. Installation is performed by toolmakers, fixture builders, and machining technicians.

This locating pin is used in jigs, fixtures, and tooling plates where repeatable part location is required. The bullet nose geometry assists with rapid part loading by guiding workpieces into position before full seating occurs. The relieved body reduces the bearing surface area, which lowers insertion force and helps prevent galling in close-tolerance bores. It is appropriate for both prototype and production fixturing setups in metalworking and light manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Bullet nose shape guides workpieces smoothly into seated position
• Relieved body reduces insertion force and minimizes galling risk
• 0.9998 inch nose diameter for close-tolerance locating applications
• 1.5 inch collar diameter provides positive seating against fixture plate
• Steel construction for durability in production fixturing environments
• Compact 1.625 inch overall length suits space-constrained tooling layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment locating pin for steel jig and fixture assemblies requiring a bullet straight pin with a 0.9998 inch nose diameter and 1.5 inch collar diameter.

Installation Notes

Locating pins of this type are installed by toolmakers or fixture technicians using a press fit or light hand press, depending on bore tolerance. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of burrs before installation to maintain positional accuracy. De-energize and lock out any associated machinery before servicing or replacing locating components in active fixtures. Do not hammer the pin directly without a proper driver to avoid damaging the nose geometry or collar face.
