Gibraltar HEP3609-G Straight Ejector Pin 3/8 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR HEP3609-G is a straight ejector pin used in injection mold tooling to push finished parts out of a mold cavity at the end of each cycle. Machined from steel with a nitride finish for surface hardness and wear resistance, this pin measures 3/8 inch in diameter with a 9-3/4 inch pin length and a 10 inch overall length. The 5/8 inch head diameter and 1/4 inch head height seat the pin securely against the ejector plate. It is installed by toolmakers, moldmakers, and die maintenance technicians during mold builds or repair work.

This ejector pin is suited for use in plastic injection molds and die casting tooling in both production shop and prototype environments. The straight pin design fits standard ejector plate configurations. It is a direct replacement or spare component for molds that use 3/8 inch diameter straight ejector pins at 10 inch overall length. Shops maintaining mold inventories typically stock this pin size for scheduled maintenance and emergency pin replacement on active production tooling.

Installation Notes

Ejector pins are installed by qualified toolmakers or mold technicians with the mold removed from the press and all hydraulic and mechanical energy isolated. The ejector plate assembly must be fully disassembled to seat the pin head flush against the retainer plate before reassembly. Inspect the pin bore in the mold for wear or damage before installing a replacement pin. Follow your facility safety and lockout/tagout procedures before any mold disassembly.
