Gibraltar LEP2126-G Straight Ejector Pin 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LEP2126-G is a straight ejector pin used in injection molding tooling and die applications. It features a 1/4 inch pin diameter and an 8 inch overall length, with a usable pin length of 7.812 inches. The pin is machined from steel and finished with a nitride surface treatment for improved hardness and wear resistance. A 7/16 inch head diameter and 3/16 inch head height provide positive retention in the ejector plate. This component is typically installed and maintained by toolmakers, mold technicians, and die maintenance professionals working in production environments.

Straight ejector pins like the LEP2126-G are standard components in plastic injection molds, die casting tooling, and stamping dies. They are used to push finished parts or slugs out of the mold cavity at the end of each press cycle. The nitride finish suits applications where surface durability and galling resistance are priorities. This pin is sold individually, making it practical for targeted replacement of worn or broken pins during scheduled tool maintenance or emergency repair.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight ejector pin for injection molds, die casting tools, and stamping dies that use 1/4 inch diameter straight ejector pins with an 8 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Ejector pin replacement is performed by qualified toolmakers or mold maintenance technicians. Always fully de-energize and lock out the press or molding machine before opening the tool and accessing the ejector assembly. Verify the replacement pin diameter, length, and head dimensions match the existing tooling specification before installation. Inspect the ejector plate bore and guide bushing for wear before reinstalling to avoid premature pin failure.
