Gibraltar CP4279-G Soft Core Pin 13/32 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4279-G is a soft core pin used in tooling, fixturing, and workholding applications across machining and fabrication environments. It features a 13/32-inch pin diameter, a 10-inch overall length, and is constructed from steel with a soft hardness rating, making it suitable for applications where the pin is intended to be driven, pressed, or removed without damaging surrounding components. The head measures 11/16 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch in height, providing a positive stop surface during installation. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians typically source and install this type of component.

Soft core pins are commonly used in jig and fixture assemblies, punch and die sets, and general machine shop tooling where a replaceable or sacrificial locating element is required. The soft material allows the pin to absorb impact or be easily extracted, reducing the risk of damage to hardened tooling or precision bores. This pin is suited for both bench-level assembly work and installed fixture applications in production environments.

Key Features

• Soft hardness rating allows the pin to be driven or extracted without damaging hardened tool components
• 13/32-inch pin diameter for precise locating in standard-tolerance bores
• 9-3/4-inch usable pin length with a 10-inch overall length including head
• 11/16-inch head diameter provides a positive seating surface and prevents over-insertion
• Steel construction offers durability in typical shop and fixturing environments
• Sold individually, compatible with single-unit procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard soft core pin for use in jig, fixture, and tooling applications requiring a 13/32-inch locating pin diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or tool and die technicians using a mallet, arbor press, or pin driver. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of debris before inserting the pin. De-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing tooling or fixtures that contain locating pins. Do not use hardened driving tools directly on the pin head, as this may deform the soft material.
