Gibraltar CP4285-G Soft Core Pin 15/32 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4285-G is a soft core pin used in tooling, fixturing, and workholding applications across metalworking and fabrication environments. The pin measures 15/32 inches in diameter with an overall length of 10 inches and a usable pin length of 9.75 inches. It features a 3/4-inch head diameter and a 1/4-inch head height, allowing for positive seating against a surface or fixture plate. Constructed from steel with a soft hardness rating, this pin is intended for applications where the core pin must yield or be driven out without damaging the surrounding component. Machinists, toolmakers, and die setters are the typical end users.

This pin is suited for use in mold and die assemblies, jigs, and fixtures where a removable or replaceable soft core pin is required. The soft hardness makes it appropriate for applications involving press-fit removal, punch-out operations, or situations where the pin absorbs impact rather than transmitting it to adjacent tooling. It is sold individually and is a standard catalog item for toolrooms and production maintenance shops.

Key Features

• 15/32-inch pin diameter for precise fit in standard tooling bores
• 10-inch overall length with 9.75-inch usable pin length
• 3/4-inch head diameter provides positive stop against fixture surface
• 1/4-inch head height keeps the pin low-profile in the assembly
• Soft steel construction allows the pin to yield under load, protecting surrounding components
• Sold as a single unit, compatible with standard reorder quantities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard toolroom core pin for use in mold bases, die sets, jigs, and fixtures requiring a 15/32-inch diameter soft core pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a toolmaker or machinist. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of debris before pressing or driving the pin into position. Power down and de-energize any press or fixture equipment before servicing. Avoid using hardened drift punches directly on the pin head, as this can cause galling or deformation of the seating surface.
