Gibraltar CP4259-G Soft Core Pin 7/32 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4259-G is a soft core pin designed for use in tooling, fixturing, and workholding applications where a controlled, low-hardness pin is required. Measuring 7/32 inch in diameter with an overall length of 3 inches, this pin features a 13/32 inch head diameter and a 3/16 inch head height. The usable pin length below the head is 2.812 inches. Constructed from steel with a soft hardness rating, this pin is suited for applications where the pin must yield or be driven without damaging the mating component. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

Soft core pins are commonly used in punch and die sets, jigs, fixtures, and precision tooling assemblies in both light manufacturing and maintenance environments. The soft hardness makes these pins appropriate when a replaceable, sacrificial element is needed in a press-fit or slip-fit application. This pin ships as a single unit and is appropriate for benchtop or machine shop use wherever a standard headed drive pin of this diameter and length is required.

Key Features

• Soft hardness rating allows controlled deformation in press-fit and tooling applications
• Steel construction provides adequate strength for general-purpose fixturing use
• 13/32 inch head diameter provides a positive seating surface to limit pin travel
• Pin length of 2.812 inches below the head suits standard tooling stack heights
• Single-piece packaging suits one-off replacement or small-quantity tooling builds

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose soft core headed drive pin for use in standard tooling, fixturing, and jig applications requiring a 7/32 inch pin diameter and 3 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a hand or arbor press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and properly sized before driving the pin to avoid galling or misalignment. De-energize or lock out any equipment before replacing pins in active tooling or machinery per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the mating component for wear or damage before installing a replacement pin.
