Gibraltar BE-1000 Die Mold Ejector Blade

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BE-1000 is a die mold ejector blade designed for use in injection mold tooling applications. Ejector blades are precision-ground flat components that push molded parts out of the mold cavity at the end of each injection cycle. This blade measures 0.0150 inches thick and 0.0460 inches wide, making it suited for tight, narrow ejection slots where round ejector pins cannot fit. The overall height is 6.5 inches, with a cross-section width of 0.06 inches and length of 0.05 inches. Mold makers and toolroom machinists are the primary installers and end users of this component.

Die mold ejector blades like the BE-1000 are used in plastic injection molding operations, both in production shops and toolroom environments. They are installed into the ejector plate assembly of a mold and travel through corresponding blade slots machined into the core side of the mold. This part is typically specified when a molded feature such as a rib, slot, or thin wall section requires flat ejection rather than round pin ejection. Sold individually, this blade ships in a package quantity of one.

Key Features

• Blade thickness of 0.0150 inches for narrow ejection slot applications
• Blade width of 0.0460 inches suits tight rib and slot geometries
• Overall height of 6.5 inches provides adequate working length for most standard mold bases
• Precision flat geometry supports consistent part ejection and reduced part distortion
• Sold as a single-piece unit for straightforward replacement ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ejector blade for use in standard plastic injection mold tooling assemblies where flat blade ejection is required.

Installation Notes

Ejector blades are installed and replaced by mold makers or toolroom technicians. The mold should be fully cooled, depressurized, and removed from the press before any ejector system service is performed. Blade slots in the mold core must be verified to match the blade cross-section dimensions before installation to prevent binding or premature wear. Follow the mold manufacturer's guidelines for ejector plate assembly and retention hardware torque procedures.
