Gibraltar MEP1079-G Straight Ejector Pin 10.2mm Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MEP1079-G is a straight ejector pin designed for use in injection mold tooling and die casting applications. It transfers ejection force to push molded parts cleanly out of the mold cavity at the end of each cycle. The pin features a 10.2 mm diameter shaft, a 310 mm pin length, and an overall length of 315 mm. It is constructed from steel with a nitride finish that improves surface hardness and wear resistance. This component is installed and maintained by toolmakers, mold technicians, and die maintenance professionals working in production shop environments.

This ejector pin is suited for medium-to-large mold bases in plastic injection molding and die casting operations. The 16 mm head diameter and 5 mm head height are sized for standard ejector retainer plate pockets. It fits applications requiring a longer ejector stroke in deeper mold cavities. The nitride-finished steel construction holds up under repeated cycling in high-production mold sets, making it a practical choice for maintenance stock in active toolrooms.

Key Features

• 10.2 mm pin diameter for precise fit in ejector pin bores
• 315 mm overall length with 310 mm usable pin length for deep-cavity molds
• 16 mm head diameter and 5 mm head height for standard retainer plate seating
• Steel construction with nitride finish for enhanced surface hardness and wear life
• Straight ejector pin geometry for direct, uniform ejection force transfer

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight ejector pin replacement for injection mold and die casting tooling requiring a 10.2 mm pin diameter and 315 mm overall length with a 16 mm head diameter.

Installation Notes

Ejector pin replacement is performed by qualified mold technicians with the mold fully depressurized, cooled, and secured in a safe work position. Verify bore diameter, pin length, and head pocket dimensions against the mold drawing before installation. Inspect the pin bore for wear or damage that could cause pin binding or breakage during cycling. Follow the mold manufacturer's service procedures and applicable shop safety standards when disassembling and reassembling ejector retainer plates.
