Gibraltar CP4246-G Soft Core Pin 9/64 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4246-G is a soft core pin designed for use in tooling, fixturing, and general industrial assembly applications. It features a 9/64-inch pin diameter and a 10-inch overall length, with a 9-7/8-inch usable pin length. The 1/4-inch head diameter and 1/8-inch head height provide a low-profile seating surface for controlled positioning. Constructed from steel with a soft core hardness rating, this pin is suited for applications where the pin must be driven or pressed without risk of cracking or shattering under impact. Machinists, toolmakers, and assembly technicians are the typical end users.

This soft core pin is used in workholding fixtures, jig assemblies, and production tooling setups where repeatable part location is required. The soft steel construction makes it appropriate for setups where pins may need to be driven in and out repeatedly or where slight deformation under press-fit load is acceptable. It is well suited to machine shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance environments handling light to medium assembly operations.

Key Features

• Soft core hardness allows driving and pressing without brittle fracture
• 9/64-inch pin diameter for precise locating hole fitment
• 10-inch overall length with 9-7/8-inch pin length for deep-reach applications
• 1/4-inch head diameter provides a positive seating shoulder
• Steel construction offers durability in industrial tooling environments
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order quantity beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling component for industrial fixtures and jig assemblies requiring a soft core steel locating pin with a 9/64-inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or toolmakers using a pin press or mallet rated for soft-metal pins. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and free of burrs before driving the pin. A soft-faced hammer or arbor press is recommended to avoid bending or galling the pin shank. Remove all chips and debris from the bore prior to seating the pin to maintain accurate location.
