In screw and fastener cold heading, the ejector pin (also called the KO pin) is one of the hardest-working components in the die set. After every punch cycle, it must push the formed blank out of the die cavity cleanly — without sticking, galling, or wearing prematurely. A pin that is off by even a few microns can cause inconsistent part quality, longer downtime, and higher tool replacement costs.
That is why header-machine operators do not just buy "a pin." They buy precision, material grade, and a supplier who can hold tight tolerances batch after batch.
What makes Grade H9 ejector pins a reliable choice
At JingHong Pins, our H9 grade precision ejector pins are engineered specifically for screw header machines and cold-heading dies. The H9 material grade is selected for its balanced combination of:
- High wear resistance under repeated impact and sliding contact
- Good toughness to resist chipping in high-cycle production
- Stable hardness for long tool life
- Excellent machinability for precision finishing
The result is a pin that keeps the die set running longer and the finished screws more consistent.
Specifications covered in this range
- Material grade: H9
- Standard diameter range: φ0.8 mm – φ40 mm
- Custom diameters available: φ2 mm – φ3 mm and other non-standard sizes
- Common lengths: 40 mm, 150 mm, and custom lengths on request
- Tolerances: down to ±0.01 mm where drawing specifies
- Surface finish: precision ground and polished
- Application: screw header machines, cold heading dies, fastener molds
Whether your drawing calls for a common catalog pin or a fully custom non-standard ejector pin, the blank can be matched to your die cavity and punch geometry.
Where these pins are used
- Self-tapping screw dies
- Machine screw header tooling
- Wood screw and drywall screw molds
- Bolt and rivet cold heading sets
- Automotive fastener tooling
- Custom OEM fastener projects
If your process involves pushing a formed blank out of a closed die, the ejector pin is a critical wear item — and the material grade matters.
