Gibraltar BE-1013 Die Mold Ejector Blade 0.046x0.172 Inch

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BE-1013 is a die mold ejector blade designed for use in injection mold tooling applications. Ejector blades serve as flat, precision-ground push pins that dislodge molded parts from the cavity after each shot cycle. This blade measures 0.046 inches thick and 0.172 inches wide, making it suited for narrow or thin-walled ejection slots where round ejector pins cannot be used. Toolmakers and mold maintenance technicians select ejector blades when part geometry or gating layout requires a flat ejection profile to avoid marking or distorting the finished part.

This ejector blade is used in plastic injection molds across a range of industries including automotive, consumer goods, and industrial components. It is typically installed in the ejector retainer plate assembly of a two-plate or three-plate mold base. The blade profile allows ejection along edges, ribs, or thin features. At 6.5 inches in length, it fits standard mold bases requiring flat ejector components in this size range.

Key Features

• Blade thickness of 0.046 inches suits narrow ejection slots in precision mold tooling
• Blade width of 0.172 inches provides flat ejection contact for thin-walled or ribbed part features
• Overall length of 6.5 inches compatible with standard ejector retainer plate assemblies
• Single-piece construction for direct drop-in replacement in existing mold bases
• Sold individually, allowing single-blade replacement without purchasing full sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ejector blade for injection mold tooling bases requiring a flat ejector component with 0.046-inch thickness and 0.172-inch width specifications.

Installation Notes

Ejector blade replacement is performed by qualified toolmakers or mold technicians. The mold must be fully cooled, depressurized, and locked out before disassembly of the ejector retainer plate. Blades should be inspected for proper seating and alignment within the retainer pocket before the mold is returned to service. Do not force-fit a blade into a slot with incorrect dimensional tolerances, as this can cause blade breakage or damage to the mold steel.
