Gibraltar BE-1005 Die Mold Ejector Blade

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BE-1005 is a die mold ejector blade designed for use in injection mold tooling applications. Ejector blades serve as flat, precision-ground components that push molded parts out of the mold cavity at the end of each cycle. The BE-1005 features a blade thickness of 0.0240 inches and a blade width of 0.1400 inches, making it suited for tight-slot ejection in molds with narrow part geometry. At 6.5 inches in height, the blade provides adequate stroke length for standard mold bases. This component is installed and serviced by moldmakers, tooling technicians, and die maintenance professionals.

Ejector blades are used in plastic injection molding operations where round ejector pins cannot provide sufficient contact area on thin-walled or ribbed part features. The BE-1005 is appropriate for production molds in both prototype and high-volume manufacturing environments. It is a direct-replacement style blade intended for mold bases requiring a flat ejection element in the 0.024-inch thickness range. Tooling shops maintaining mold bases across multiple press sizes will find this blade suitable for standard ejector retainer plate configurations.

Key Features

• Blade thickness of 0.0240 inches for precision fit in narrow ejector slots
• Blade width of 0.1400 inches provides controlled contact surface for part ejection
• 6.5 inch height accommodates standard mold base stroke requirements
• Single-piece construction for consistent dimensional performance cycle to cycle
• Sold individually, allowing targeted replacement without full set purchase

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ejector blade for injection mold tooling requiring a flat blade profile with 0.0240 inch thickness and 0.1400 inch width.

Installation Notes

Ejector blade replacement is performed by qualified moldmakers or tooling technicians with the mold fully removed from the press and all hydraulic and electrical systems locked out. The ejector retainer plate must be disassembled to access and seat the blade properly. Blades should be checked for proper fit in the retainer pocket and blade slot before the mold is returned to service. Verify blade height and clearance against the mold base specification before pressing the retainer assembly back together.
