Gibraltar CP4264-G Soft Core Pin 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4264-G is a soft core drive pin designed for use in tooling, fixturing, and general industrial assembly applications. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter with a 10-inch overall length and a usable pin length of 9.812 inches, this pin provides reliable alignment and retention in a variety of setups. Constructed from steel with a soft core, it is designed to absorb impact and allow removal without damaging surrounding components. The 7/16-inch head diameter and 3/16-inch head height provide a positive seating surface during installation. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the typical installers.

This soft core pin is suited for use in production tooling, jigs, fixtures, and light machinery where a removable or replaceable locating pin is required. The soft core construction makes it appropriate for applications where the pin must be driven in and later punched out without cracking or spalling. It is commonly used in industrial manufacturing environments, maintenance shops, and tool rooms where precise alignment is critical and component serviceability is a priority.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard soft core locating pin for use in industrial tooling, fixtures, jigs, and machinery requiring a 1/4-inch diameter drive pin with a 10-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or arbor press. Always ensure the receiving hole is clean and properly sized to the pin diameter before driving. Power down and de-energize any associated machinery before servicing tooling or fixtures. Use a properly sized punch against the pin head to avoid mushrooming the steel during removal.
