Gibraltar LEP2118-G Straight Ejector Pin 3/16 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LEP2118-G is a straight ejector pin used in plastic injection molds and die casting tooling to push finished parts out of the mold cavity after each cycle. Machined from steel with a nitride finish for surface hardness and wear resistance, this pin measures 3/16 inches in diameter with an overall length of 12 inches and a usable pin length of 11.812 inches. The head measures 3/8 inches in diameter and 3/16 inches in height, providing a positive seat against the ejector plate. Mold makers, toolmakers, and die shop technicians are the primary installers and users of this component.

This ejector pin is suited for use in injection mold bases where straight-style ejector pins are specified. It fits applications requiring a 3/16-inch pin diameter and a 12-inch overall length. The nitride surface treatment reduces galling and extends service life in high-cycle production tooling. It is appropriate for both prototype tooling and production mold assemblies where standard straight ejector pin geometry is called for.

Key Features

• Straight ejector pin geometry for standard mold base ejector systems
• 3/16 inch pin diameter with 11.812 inch pin length and 12 inch overall length
• 3/8 inch head diameter and 3/16 inch head height for positive ejector plate seating
• Steel construction with nitride finish for surface hardness and wear resistance
• Single-piece unit with no assembly required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for injection mold bases and die casting tooling requiring a straight ejector pin with a 3/16-inch diameter and 12-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or mold technicians during mold build or maintenance. The mold must be fully de-energized, cooled, and depressurized before any ejector system service. Pins should be checked for straightness and proper fit in the ejector plate bore before installation. Follow shop-standard procedures and applicable tooling drawings for ejector pin retention and plate alignment.
