Gibraltar MEP1098-G Straight Ejector Pin Steel Nitride

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MEP1098-G is a straight ejector pin designed for use in injection mold tooling and die casting applications. This pin features a 12.2 mm pin diameter and a 160 mm overall length, with a nitride finish applied to the steel body for improved surface hardness and wear resistance. It is sized with a 20 mm head diameter and a 7 mm head height, providing reliable seating within standard ejector plate assemblies. Mold makers, toolroom machinists, and die maintenance technicians use these pins to eject formed parts from cavities during the molding cycle.

This ejector pin is suited for use in plastic injection molds and die casting tooling where precise pin fit and consistent performance are required. The straight pin profile and nitride surface treatment make it appropriate for moderate- to high-cycle mold applications in both production and maintenance settings. It is supplied as a single piece per package, making it practical for individual replacement during toolroom service or mold repair.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight ejector pin replacement for injection mold and die casting tooling that accepts a 12.2 mm pin diameter with a 20 mm head diameter seating configuration.

Installation Notes

Ejector pin replacement is performed by qualified mold makers or toolroom technicians. The mold must be fully de-energized, cooled to safe handling temperature, and removed from the press before servicing ejector components. Inspect the ejector pin bore for wear or damage before installing the replacement pin. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable toolroom practices when disassembling and reassembling ejector plate assemblies.
