Gibraltar MEP1049-G Straight Ejector Pin 6.2mm 500mm Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MEP1049-G is a straight ejector pin used in injection molding tooling to push finished parts out of a mold cavity at the end of each cycle. Machined from steel with a nitride finish for wear and corrosion resistance, this pin measures 6.2 mm in diameter with a 495 mm pin length and a 500 mm overall length. The head is 12 mm in diameter and 5 mm tall, providing a positive seating surface in the ejector plate. Toolmakers, moldmakers, and mold maintenance technicians install and replace ejector pins during mold builds and repair work.

This ejector pin is suited for use in standard injection mold ejector systems where a straight pin profile is required. It fits applications where the pin diameter, head geometry, and overall length match the mold plate specification. The nitride surface treatment extends service life in high-cycle production molds by reducing galling and surface wear. This pin is supplied individually, making it practical for single-pin replacement during maintenance without purchasing in bulk.

Key Features

• Straight ejector pin profile for standard mold ejector plate installations
• 6.2 mm pin diameter and 495 mm pin length for precise cavity clearance
• 12 mm head diameter and 5 mm head height for positive retention in ejector plates
• Steel construction with nitride finish for improved wear and corrosion resistance
• 500 mm overall length accommodates deep mold base configurations
• Single-piece packaging supports individual replacement without minimum bulk purchase

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for injection mold ejector systems requiring a straight ejector pin with a 6.2 mm pin diameter and 500 mm overall length.

Installation Notes

Ejector pins are installed and replaced by toolmakers or mold maintenance technicians with the mold removed from the press and all hydraulic or mechanical ejector systems fully de-energized and locked out. Verify that the pin diameter, head geometry, and overall length match the mold plate drawings before installation. Pins should be installed without force-fitting; interference or binding indicates a mismatch in hole diameter or pin straightness. Always inspect the ejector plate bore and retainer plate for wear or damage before installing a new pin.
