Gibraltar HCP5629-G Hard Core Pin 9/64 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR HCP5629-G is a hard core pin used in mechanical fastening and assembly applications. Machined from steel, it features a 9/64 inch pin diameter and a 6 inch overall length (OAL), with a usable pin length of 5-7/8 inches. The headed design includes a 1/4 inch head diameter and a 1/8 inch head height, providing a positive stop during installation. This pin is suited for locating, aligning, or securing components in industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance applications. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics work with this type of pin in both production and repair settings.

Hard core pins like the HCP5629-G are typically used in jigs, fixtures, dies, and mechanical assemblies where a hardened steel pin is required to maintain precise alignment or resist shear forces. The hard pin hardness rating makes this part appropriate for demanding applications where softer pins would deform or fail prematurely. Sold individually, it is a straightforward replacement or stocking item for shops and field technicians who maintain mechanical equipment.

Key Features

• Hard core pin construction rated for demanding alignment and locating tasks
• 9/64 inch pin diameter with 5-7/8 inch pin length
• 1/4 inch head diameter and 1/8 inch head height for positive stop seating
• 6 inch overall length for use in deeper fixture or assembly clearances
• Steel construction provides strength and resistance to deformation under load

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use hard core pin for jigs, fixtures, dies, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 9/64 inch diameter hardened steel pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a pin press or mallet with an appropriate drift. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and dimensionally correct before driving the pin to avoid galling or misalignment. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving or removing pins. Follow applicable workplace safety standards when working with press-fit components.
