Gibraltar CP4247-G Soft Core Pin 5/32 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4247-G is a soft core pin designed for use in tooling, fixturing, and workholding applications where a softer pin material is required to avoid marring workpiece surfaces or to allow deliberate shear-off under overload conditions. This pin measures 5/32 inch in diameter and 3 inches in overall length, with a 9/32 inch head diameter and 5/32 inch head height. The pin body length below the head is 2.844 inches. Constructed from steel with a soft hardness rating, it is a standard industrial pin suited for assembly, jig, and die applications installed by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians.

This soft core pin is used in light-duty tooling and fixture setups across manufacturing and fabrication environments. The soft core construction makes it appropriate for applications requiring controlled failure or easy removal without damage to surrounding components. It fits standard pin holes sized for 5/32 inch diameter pins in jigs, fixtures, hinges, and alignment applications. Sold individually, it is suited for low-volume tooling repairs and prototype fixturing as well as production maintenance stock.

Key Features

• Soft core steel construction allows controlled shear or easy removal without damaging mating components
• 5/32 inch pin diameter with 2.844 inch pin length for consistent fitment in standard tooling holes
• 9/32 inch head diameter provides a positive shoulder stop against the workpiece or fixture surface
• 3 inch overall length suits a range of fixturing and assembly pin applications
• Steel material provides adequate strength for light-duty industrial and maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock pin for fixtures, jigs, and tooling assemblies requiring a 5/32 inch diameter soft core pin with a 3 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using standard press or hand-drive tooling appropriate for the pin diameter. Ensure the receiving hole is clean, properly sized, and free of burrs before driving the pin. Soft core pins should not be substituted in applications requiring hardened or precision-ground pins unless the design specifically calls for a soft pin. Follow applicable facility safety procedures when working with press-fit components.
