Gibraltar CP4237-G Soft Core Pin 3/32 in 10 in Oal Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4237-G is a soft core pin used in metalworking, fabrication, and general industrial assembly operations. It features a 3/32 inch pin diameter and a 10 inch overall length, with a 9-7/8 inch pin length and a 1/4 inch head diameter at 1/8 inch head height. Constructed from steel with a soft hardness rating, this pin is suited for applications where the core material must deform or be driven out after use, as in sand casting, investment casting, or similar forming processes. Installers and machinists select soft core pins when the application demands a removable or collapsible internal support.

Soft core pins are commonly used in foundry, tooling, and fabrication shops. They are appropriate for use in mold-making, casting setups, and fixture work where a temporary internal pin is required to maintain geometry during processing. The soft steel construction allows the pin to be driven, bent, or extracted without damaging surrounding tooling or workpieces. This pin is a single-piece unit sold individually and is suitable for both bench and production-floor use.

Key Features

• Soft steel construction allows deformation and removal without damaging surrounding components
• 3/32 inch pin diameter for precision fitment in close-tolerance applications
• 10 inch overall length provides reach in deep mold or fixture setups
• 1/4 inch head diameter and 1/8 inch head height provide a defined seating surface
• 9-7/8 inch usable pin length suitable for extended core support

Compatibility

Designed as a standard soft core pin for use in foundry, casting, and general industrial fixture applications requiring a 3/32 inch diameter soft steel pin.

Installation Notes

Soft core pins are typically installed and removed by machinists, toolmakers, or foundry technicians using standard pin punches and mallets. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and free of debris before driving the pin. When removing, use an appropriately sized pin punch to avoid mushrooming the head or damaging the bore. Follow shop safety procedures and wear appropriate eye protection when driving or extracting pins.
