Gibraltar CP-1005 Conical Pin 0.025 in Hss Nitride

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP-1005 is a conical pin machined from high speed steel with a nitride finish, designed for precision locating, alignment, and workholding applications in machining and tooling setups. The pin measures 0.025 inches in pin diameter and 2.5 inches in overall length, with a head diameter of 0.045 inches and a head height of 0.0315 inches. The nitride finish provides surface hardness and corrosion resistance suited for demanding shop environments. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders install this type of pin to maintain accurate part registration across repeated setups.

This conical pin is used in jig and fixture applications where precise hole location and repeatable positioning are required. The conical geometry allows the pin to self-center as it seats into a mating hole, making it well suited for fixture plates, modular tooling systems, and production workholding setups in both manual and CNC machining environments. The small pin diameter and compact head profile make this part appropriate for fine-tolerance work where space is limited.

Key Features

• Conical geometry for self-centering and repeatable part registration
• High speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance
• Nitride finish adds surface hardness and corrosion resistance
• 0.025 inch pin diameter for fine-tolerance locating applications
• 2.5 inch overall length accommodates standard fixture plate depths
• Head diameter of 0.045 inches with 0.0315 inch head height for positive seating

Compatibility

Designed as a standard conical locating pin for use in jig plates, fixture bodies, and modular workholding systems that accept pins with a 0.025 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or tool and die maker using hand press or light mallet methods appropriate for the mating bore tolerance. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and free of burrs before seating the pin. Verify fit and retention before applying full clamping or workholding loads. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and equipment lockout protocols when installing or removing locating pins from active fixtures.
