Gibraltar BE-1023 Die Mold Ejector Blade

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BE-1023 is a die mold ejector blade designed for use in injection mold tooling and die casting applications. Ejector blades are flat, precision-ground components used to push formed parts out of mold cavities at the end of each cycle. The BE-1023 features a blade thickness of 0.0240 inches and a blade width of 0.1720 inches, making it suited for tight-clearance ejection slots where standard round ejector pins cannot be used. The overall length is 7.5 inches. Toolmakers, mold setters, and die maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This ejector blade is used in plastic injection molds and die tooling where part geometry requires a flat ejection surface rather than a cylindrical pin. Flat ejector blades are commonly specified in molds producing thin-walled or ribbed parts, where a blade profile distributes ejection force across a longer contact area. This part is sold individually and is intended as a replacement or spare component for production tooling environments requiring this exact blade profile.

Key Features

• Blade thickness of 0.0240 inches for precise slot fitment
• Blade width of 0.1720 inches for flat ejection contact
• Overall length of 7.5 inches to accommodate standard mold base depths
• Individual unit packaging for targeted replacement without excess inventory
• Designed for drop-in replacement in existing ejector blade retainer plates

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ejector blade for die mold tooling applications requiring a 0.0240 inch thick by 0.1720 inch wide blade profile.

Installation Notes

Ejector blade replacement is performed by qualified toolmakers or mold maintenance technicians during scheduled mold service or unplanned tooling repairs. The mold must be fully de-energized, cooled, and removed from the press before any ejector system disassembly begins. Blades should be inspected for proper fit within the retainer plate and ejector blade pocket before the mold is returned to service. Follow your facility safety and lockout-tagout procedures throughout the process.
