Gibraltar MLP925-G Die Mold Leader Pin 0.749in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MLP925-G is a die mold leader pin used to align mold halves during injection molding and stamping die operations. Machined from steel, it features a pin diameter of 0.749 inches and an overall length (OAL) of 9.25 inches. The head measures 0.999 inches in diameter and 0.1875 inches in height. An OAL tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0600 inches ensures controlled fit within standard leader pin bushings. This part is installed by tool and die makers, moldmakers, and precision machining trades during mold assembly or maintenance.

The MLP925-G is suited for use in plastic injection molds, compression molds, and metal stamping dies where precise parting line alignment is required. It is typically installed vertically or horizontally through fixed mold plates and mates with corresponding leader pin bushings to guide mold halves into repeatable register. This pin is appropriate for both new mold builds and replacement applications where worn or damaged pins require direct substitution.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durability and resistance to the compressive loads typical in die and mold applications
• Pin diameter of 0.749 inches for standard leader pin bushing fitment
• Overall length of 9.25 inches accommodates thicker mold plate stacks
• Head diameter of 0.999 inches and head height of 0.1875 inches provide positive axial seating against the mold plate
• OAL tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0600 inches supports controlled installation fit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement leader pin for steel injection molds and stamping dies requiring a 0.749-inch diameter leader pin with a 9.25-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tool and die makers or moldmakers with the mold fully de-energized, de-pressurized, and secured in a press or mold stand. Leader pins are typically pressed or driven into the retainer plate bore and should be checked for perpendicularity before final seating. Do not substitute lubricants or bushing fits without verifying tolerance compatibility with mating components. Always inspect the mating leader pin bushing for wear before installing a new pin.
