Gibraltar CP4283-G Soft Core Pin 15/32 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4283-G is a soft core pin designed for use in tooling, fixturing, and workholding applications where a softer pin hardness is required to avoid damage to mating components. Machined from steel, this pin measures 15/32 inches in diameter with an overall length of 3 inches. The head diameter is 3/4 inches and the head height is 1/4 inches, with a usable pin length of 2.75 inches. The soft core construction makes it well suited for applications where the pin must yield or compress under load rather than transfer full hardness into a precision bore or workpiece.

Soft core pins are commonly used in manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance environments. Typical applications include fixture locating, component alignment, and press-fit or hand-drive installations where a standard hardened pin would present risk of galling, seizing, or bore damage. This pin is appropriate for use in both light industrial and precision shop-floor settings where controlled pin hardness is specified by the application.

Key Features

• Soft core pin hardness reduces risk of bore damage during installation and removal
• Steel construction provides reliable strength for general industrial use
• 15/32 inch pin diameter fits standard tooling and fixture bores
• 3/4 inch head diameter provides a positive seating surface and easy retrieval
• 2.75 inch pin length with 1/4 inch head height for a 3 inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard soft core pin for use in tooling, fixturing, and workholding setups requiring a 15/32 inch diameter pin with a 3-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or tooling specialists using hand tools or a press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of debris before driving the pin. Inspect the bore diameter against the pin specification before installation to confirm proper fit. If removal is required, use the appropriate pin punch and a dead-blow or brass hammer to avoid deforming the head or bore.
