Gibraltar HCP5626-G Hard Core Pin 1/8 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR HCP5626-G is a hard core pin used in fastening, alignment, and assembly applications across industrial and trade settings. The pin measures 1/8 inch in diameter with an overall length of 3 inches, including a pin length of 2-7/8 inches. The 1/4 inch head diameter and 1/8 inch head height provide a positive bearing surface for driving and retention. Constructed from steel with a hard pin hardness rating, this pin is built to resist deformation under driving force. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins where tight-tolerance location or retention is required.

Hard core pins like the HCP5626-G are used in machinery assembly, jig and fixture construction, and general fabrication environments. They are suitable for applications requiring a driven, non-threaded fastener with a defined head for controlled installation depth and pullout resistance. The compact size makes this pin appropriate for light to medium-duty alignment and retention tasks in both shop and field settings.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch pin diameter for tight-tolerance location applications
• 3 inch overall length with 2-7/8 inch usable pin length
• 1/4 inch head diameter provides positive drive surface
• Hard steel construction resists deformation under impact installation
• Single-piece solid construction with no moving parts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hard core pin for use in machinery, fixtures, and assemblies requiring a 1/8 inch diameter driven pin with a headed profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a pin punch and hammer or arbor press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and properly sized before driving the pin. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving hardened steel pins. Remove or de-energize associated equipment before performing any pin installation or removal.
