Gibraltar BE-1017 Die Mold Ejector Blade

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BE-1017 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 free from the mold cavity at the end of the injection cycle. This blade measures 0.0150 inches in thickness and 0.0460 inches in width, making it suited for tight-tolerance slots and thin-wall ejection tasks. At 7.5 inches in height, it provides adequate reach for standard mold base configurations. Mold makers, toolroom machinists, and injection mold technicians are the primary installers of components like this one.

Ejector blades of this profile are commonly used in plastic injection mold tooling where standard round ejector pins cannot access flat or narrow part features. Typical applications include ejecting ribs, thin walls, and recessed geometry in production molds. This blade is suited for both prototype and production mold bases in shop or manufacturing facility environments where precision tooling components are routinely replaced as part of planned maintenance or emergency repair.

Key Features

• Blade thickness of 0.0150 inches for narrow-slot ejection applications
• Blade width of 0.0460 inches for precise fitment in mold base ejector slots
• 7.5 inch overall height accommodates standard mold base ejector plate travel
• Packaged as a single unit for individual replacement use
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds, minimizing handling fatigue during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ejector blade for die mold tooling setups requiring a 0.0150 inch thickness and 0.0460 inch width profile.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mold maker or toolroom machinist. Always ensure the mold is fully cooled, de-pressurized, and locked out before servicing ejector components. Ejector blades must be seated flush and square in the ejector plate to prevent binding or premature wear. Verify slot dimensions in the mold base match the blade profile before pressing or seating the component.
