Gibraltar CP4260-G Soft Core Pin 7/32 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4260-G is a soft core drive pin used in tooling, fixturing, and assembly applications where a press-fit locating or retention pin is required. With a pin diameter of 7/32 inches, an overall length of 6 inches, and a 13/32-inch head diameter, this pin is dimensioned for use in standard drilled or reamed holes. The soft steel construction allows the pin to be driven, pressed, or removed without damaging surrounding components or tooling. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and assembly shop workers install this type of pin in jigs, fixtures, and production tooling to maintain part location and alignment.

This soft core pin is suited for light-duty locating and retention tasks in machine shops, fabrication environments, and general industrial assembly. Its headed design keeps the pin captive in blind or through-hole applications and provides a positive stop at a defined seating depth. The 5.812-inch usable pin length accommodates stacked components or deeper engagement requirements. It is sold individually and installs by hand press or mallet into a properly sized receiving hole.

Key Features

• 7/32 inch pin diameter for standard drilled or reamed hole fitment
• 6 inch overall length with 5.812 inch pin length for deep engagement applications
• 13/32 inch head diameter provides a positive seating stop
• 3/16 inch head height keeps the head profile low in assembled tooling
• Soft steel construction allows driving, pressing, and removal without damaging mating parts
• Headed design prevents pin migration in blind-hole and through-hole configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use soft core drive pin for standard tooling, jig, and fixture applications requiring a headed steel pin with a 7/32 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or assembly technicians using a hand press, arbor press, or soft-faced mallet. Verify the receiving hole diameter and depth match the pin specifications before installation. Do not force the pin into an undersized hole, as this can distort the pin or crack the workpiece. Remove the pin using a punch sized appropriately to avoid deforming the head or bore.
