Gibraltar CP4272-G Soft Core Pin 11/32 in 6 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4272-G is a soft core pin designed for use in tooling, fixturing, and workholding applications across machining and fabrication environments. Manufactured from steel with a soft hardness rating, this pin measures 11/32 inches in pin diameter and 6 inches in overall length, with a usable pin length of 5.75 inches. The 9/16-inch head diameter and 1/4-inch head height provide positive seating and easy extraction. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install these pins in jigs, fixtures, and locating assemblies where a softer pin material is required to protect mating bores or allow for field modification.

This soft core pin suits general industrial and manufacturing settings where locating accuracy and bore protection are priorities. Soft-material pins are commonly selected for applications requiring the pin to be cut, drilled, or otherwise modified on-site, or where the mating component material demands a lower-hardness contact surface. The pin is sold individually and is appropriate for both one-off tooling setups and production fixture assemblies.

Key Features

• Soft steel core allows field modification including cutting, drilling, and shaping
• 11/32-inch pin diameter suits standard locating bore configurations
• 5.75-inch usable pin length with 6-inch overall length for positive engagement depth
• 9/16-inch head diameter provides a stable seating surface and aids manual removal
• 1/4-inch head height keeps the profile low in flush-mount or recessed applications
• Steel construction balances durability with machinability for shop-floor use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit locating pin for standard tooling, jig, and fixture assemblies requiring an 11/32-inch diameter soft core pin with a 6-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or tool-and-die technicians using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of burrs before inserting the pin to prevent galling or misalignment. Because this pin carries a soft hardness rating, avoid driving it with excessive force, which can deform the shank. When used in powered or rotating equipment, de-energize and lock out the machine before servicing any fixture or tooling component.
