Gibraltar MEP1068-G Straight Ejector Pin 8.2mm 630mm Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MEP1068-G is a straight ejector pin designed for use in injection mold tooling and die applications. Manufactured from steel with a nitride finish, this pin measures 8.2 mm in diameter and 630 mm in overall length, with a 625 mm pin length, a 14 mm head diameter, and a 5 mm head height. The nitride surface treatment improves wear resistance and reduces galling during repeated ejection cycles. Toolmakers, moldmakers, and mold maintenance technicians install this type of component as a standard replacement or build component in plastic injection molds and progressive die sets.

This ejector pin is suited for plastic injection mold tooling in both production and prototype environments. It is used wherever a straight-body ejector pin is required to push formed parts from a mold cavity during the ejection stroke. The pin head seats in the ejector retainer plate, and the pin body travels through the ejector plate and into the mold core. Applicable in both single-cavity and multi-cavity mold configurations found in industrial manufacturing facilities.

Key Features

• Steel construction with nitride finish for improved surface hardness and wear resistance
• 8.2 mm pin diameter for precise fit in standard ejector pin bores
• 630 mm overall length accommodates deep-draw mold configurations
• 14 mm head diameter and 5 mm head height for positive seating in ejector retainer plates
• Straight-body profile simplifies alignment and replacement during mold maintenance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or build component for plastic injection molds and die tooling requiring a straight ejector pin with an 8.2 mm body diameter and 630 mm overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or mold maintenance technicians with the mold press fully locked out and the mold at a safe handling temperature. The ejector pin seats through the ejector plate and retainer plate; confirm bore diameter and plate clearances before installation to prevent binding or premature wear. Inspect the pin for straightness before installing, as a bent pin can damage the mold core or cause ejection failures. Follow the mold manufacturer's maintenance documentation for proper assembly sequence and retainer plate fastener procedures.
