Gibraltar CP4270-G Soft Core Pin 5/16 in 10 in Oal Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4270-G is a soft core pin used in workholding, fixturing, and general industrial assembly applications. It features a 5/16-inch pin diameter and a 10-inch overall length, with a soft steel construction that allows it to be cut, ground, or machined to length on the job. The head measures 1/2 inch in diameter and 1/4 inch in height, providing a positive stop against mating surfaces. At 0.26 pounds, this is a lightweight but durable component suited for use by machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance professionals who need a reliable soft pin for locating or securing workpieces.

Soft core pins like the CP4270-G are commonly used in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments where precision locating or alignment is required. The soft steel construction makes this pin appropriate for applications where drilling, cutting, or reshaping the pin in the field is necessary to meet specific fixture or assembly requirements. It is a standard-format pin sold individually and is appropriate for both new fixture builds and replacement in existing setups.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard soft core locating pin for use in industrial workholding fixtures, jigs, and assembly tooling requiring a 5/16-inch pin diameter bore.

Installation Notes

Soft core pins are typically installed and serviced by machinists or maintenance technicians using standard hand and machining tools. Before inserting or removing pins in powered fixtures or press tooling, de-energize all associated equipment and relieve any hydraulic or pneumatic pressure in the system. If the pin must be cut to length, use appropriate cutting tools and deburr all edges before installation to prevent damage to mating bores. Do not force an oversized pin into a bore, as this can damage the fixture plate or the pin itself.
