Gibraltar MLP995-G Die Mold Leader Pin 1.5 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MLP995-G is a die mold leader pin manufactured from nickel chromium molybdenum steel for high-strength, wear-resistant performance in tooling and mold applications. The pin measures 1.5 inches in diameter with an overall length of 6.75 inches. The head measures 1.75 inches in diameter and 0.3125 inches in height. This component is used to align mold halves during the injection molding or die casting process, maintaining precise register between core and cavity. Machinists, toolmakers, and die maintenance technicians install and replace these pins as part of routine mold maintenance programs.

Leader pins of this type are standard components in injection mold, die cast, and stamping die assemblies. They guide the moving half of the mold into the stationary half on each press cycle, absorbing lateral loads and preventing misalignment. The MLP995-G is suited for production tooling operating in industrial press environments where dimensional accuracy and material durability are critical. This part ships in a quantity of one.

Key Features

• Nickel chromium molybdenum steel construction provides high tensile strength and resistance to wear and fatigue
• 1.5 inch pin diameter with 1.75 inch head diameter for secure seating in standard leader pin bushings
• 6.75 inch overall length accommodates typical mold plate stack heights in production tooling
• Head height of 0.3125 inches provides a positive stop against the mold plate face
• Single-piece construction with no assembly required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement leader pin for die mold and injection mold assemblies requiring a 1.5 inch diameter leader pin with standard head geometry.

Installation Notes

Leader pin replacement is performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. The mold must be fully removed from the press and all hydraulic or pneumatic pressure must be relieved before disassembly. Press-fit installation may require a hydraulic or arbor press; never drive leader pins with a hammer directly against the head. Inspect the corresponding leader pin bushing for wear before installing a new pin.
