Gibraltar MEP1026-G Straight Ejector Pin 3.70mm Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MEP1026-G is a straight ejector pin designed for use in injection molds and die casting tooling. It functions to eject finished parts from a mold cavity at the end of each cycle. The pin features a 3.70 mm diameter shaft and an overall length of 400 mm, with a 397 mm usable pin length. It is manufactured from steel with a nitride finish, which improves surface hardness and wear resistance for extended service life in high-cycle mold applications. Toolmakers, mold repair technicians, and die shop machinists are the primary installers of this component.

This ejector pin is suited for plastic injection molds, die casting dies, and stamping tooling where a straight-profile pin is specified. It is appropriate for both prototype tooling and production mold sets requiring precise pin geometry. The 7 mm head diameter and 3 mm head height are compatible with standard ejector pin retainer plates used in conventional mold base designs. This pin is sold individually, making it practical for single-pin replacement during mold maintenance or repair work.

Key Features

• 3.70 mm pin diameter for consistent fit in standard ejector pin bores
• 400 mm overall length with 397 mm pin length to suit deep mold bases
• Steel construction with nitride finish for enhanced surface hardness and wear resistance
• 7 mm head diameter and 3 mm head height for compatibility with standard retainer plates
• Straight ejector profile for straightforward installation and replacement
• Sold as a single unit, supporting one-piece maintenance and repair orders

Compatibility

Designed as a straight ejector pin replacement for injection molds and die casting tooling that accept a 3.70 mm diameter pin with a 7 mm head diameter and 400 mm overall length in standard mold base retainer plate configurations.

Installation Notes

Ejector pins are installed and replaced by toolmakers or mold technicians. Before servicing a mold, disconnect the injection molding machine from its power source and relieve any hydraulic or pneumatic pressure per shop lockout and tagout procedures. Inspect the ejector pin bore for wear or damage before installing the replacement pin, and verify that the head seats flush and secure within the retainer plate. Consult the mold design drawings to confirm pin diameter, length, and head dimensions prior to installation.
