Gibraltar MEP1038-G Straight Ejector Pin 5.5mm Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MEP1038-G is a straight ejector pin designed for use in injection molds and die casting tooling. It functions by pushing finished parts out of the mold cavity at the end of each cycle. The pin measures 5.5 mm in diameter with a 100 mm overall length, a 10 mm head diameter, and a 3 mm head height, leaving 97 mm of usable pin length. Constructed from steel with a nitride finish, it offers surface hardness and wear resistance suited to high-cycle mold environments. Installation and replacement are handled by toolmakers and mold maintenance technicians.

This ejector pin is used in plastic injection molding and die casting applications where straight ejector pins are required to eject parts cleanly from a mold cavity. It fits standard ejector pin retainer plates that accept a 10 mm head diameter. The nitride finish helps resist galling and extends service life in demanding production environments. Suitable for use in both OEM mold builds and aftermarket mold repair and maintenance.

Key Features

• Straight ejector pin profile for standard mold ejection applications
• 5.5 mm pin diameter with 97 mm usable pin length
• 10 mm head diameter and 3 mm head height for standard retainer plate seating
• Steel construction with nitride finish for surface hardness and wear resistance
• 100 mm overall length fits common mold plate configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or spare for injection molds and die casting tooling that require straight ejector pins with a 5.5 mm pin diameter and 10 mm head diameter.

Installation Notes

Ejector pins are installed and serviced by toolmakers or mold maintenance technicians with the mold fully cooled and all press energy locked out per applicable machine safety procedures. The pin must seat fully and squarely in the retainer plate before the mold is closed. Inspect the pin bore and guide bushings for wear or damage prior to installation to avoid premature pin failure or part ejection defects.
