Gibraltar HEP3602-G Straight Ejector Pin 5/16 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR HEP3602-G is a straight ejector pin manufactured from steel with a nitride finish, designed for use in injection mold tooling applications. It measures 5/16 inches in pin diameter with an overall length of 25 inches, a pin length of 24.75 inches, a head diameter of 0.5 inches, and a head height of 0.25 inches. The nitride surface treatment improves wear resistance and helps reduce galling during repeated ejection cycles. This pin is installed and maintained by moldmakers, toolroom machinists, and mold maintenance technicians working with production injection molds.

Straight ejector pins like the HEP3602-G are used in plastic injection molds to push finished parts out of the mold cavity at the end of each cycle. This pin is suited for medium-to-large mold bases where longer pin lengths are required to reach deep cavities or extended ejector plate travel. It is a direct-replacement component for worn or broken ejector pins during scheduled mold maintenance or emergency toolroom repair. The nitride finish is appropriate for demanding production environments where pin longevity is a priority.

Key Features

• 5/16 inch pin diameter for precise fitment in standard ejector pin bores
• 25 inch overall length accommodates deep-cavity and extended-travel mold configurations
• Steel construction provides the strength and durability required for high-cycle injection mold tooling
• Nitride finish improves surface hardness and reduces wear during repeated ejection cycles
• 0.5 inch head diameter and 0.25 inch head height for standard ejector plate retention
• Sold individually, allowing single-pin replacement without excess inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight ejector pin for steel injection mold bases requiring a 5/16 inch diameter pin with a 25 inch overall length and standard head geometry.

Installation Notes

Ejector pin replacement is performed by qualified moldmakers or toolroom technicians. Before servicing, the mold press must be fully de-energized, locked out, and the mold cooled to a safe handling temperature. Pins should be inspected for proper fit and free movement in the bore before the mold is returned to production. Do not force a pin into an undersized or damaged bore, as this can cause bore damage or premature pin failure.
