Gibraltar CP4244-G Soft Core Pin 9/64 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4244-G is a soft core pin used in tooling, fixturing, and general industrial assembly applications. It features a 9/64-inch pin diameter, a 3-inch overall length, and is machined from steel. The soft core construction allows the pin to be driven, pressed, or removed without risk of damaging mating components or bores. A 1/4-inch head diameter and 1/8-inch head height provide a positive seating surface during installation. This pin is a standard catalog item suited for use by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with jigs, dies, and precision fixtures.

Soft core pins like the CP4244-G are commonly used in light-duty locating, alignment, and retention applications in manufacturing and maintenance environments. The 2-7/8-inch pin length provides adequate engagement depth for most standard fixturing setups. This pin is appropriate for both shop-floor production use and bench-level assembly work where a replaceable, softer pin material is preferred to protect hardened bores or mating surfaces.

Key Features

• Soft core construction allows removal without damaging hardened mating bores
• 9/64-inch pin diameter for precision fit in standard tooling applications
• 1/4-inch head diameter provides positive seating and drive surface
• 2-7/8-inch pin length with 3-inch overall length including head
• Steel material for reliable strength in light-duty locating and alignment use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard soft core locating pin for use in industrial jigs, fixtures, dies, and general tooling assemblies requiring a 9/64-inch bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin press or light mallet. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before driving the pin to avoid misalignment or bore damage. The soft core material is intentionally designed for easier removal — do not substitute a hardened pin in applications where this pin is specified. Verify pin diameter tolerance against bore specification before installation.
