Gibraltar HEP3566-G Straight Ejector Pin 5/32 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR HEP3566-G is a straight ejector pin used in injection mold tooling to push finished parts out of mold cavities at the end of each cycle. Machined from steel with a nitride finish for surface hardness and wear resistance, this pin measures 5/32 inches in diameter with an overall length of 10 inches and a usable pin length of 9.844 inches. The head diameter is 9/32 inches with a head height of 5/32 inches. It is installed and serviced by toolmakers, mold technicians, and maintenance machinists working on plastic injection molds and die casting tooling.

This ejector pin is suited for use in standard straight-pin ejector plate configurations found in residential and commercial mold bases. It is a direct-fit replacement style pin for applications requiring a 5/32 inch diameter straight ejector with a headed profile. The nitride surface treatment reduces galling and extends service life in high-cycle mold applications. Individual unit packaging makes it practical for maintenance replacement of a single worn or damaged pin without ordering excess inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight ejector pin for standard injection mold and die casting tooling that accepts a 5/32 inch diameter straight headed ejector pin.

Installation Notes

Ejector pins are installed and replaced by qualified toolmakers or mold maintenance technicians. Before servicing an ejector system, the mold must be fully cooled, the press must be locked out and tagged out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures, and the ejector plate must be fully retracted. Pins should be inspected for straightness before installation, and mating ejector plate bores should be checked for wear or damage prior to fitting the replacement pin.
