Gibraltar BE-1045 Die Mold Ejector Blade

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BE-1045 is a die mold ejector blade designed for use in injection mold tooling and die casting applications. Ejector blades serve a critical function in the mold ejection cycle, pushing formed parts free from the mold cavity without damaging part geometry. This blade measures 0.0940 inches in thickness and 0.4220 inches in width, with an overall height of 7.5 inches. It is manufactured to close tolerances, making it a direct-fit replacement in mold bases that require blade-style ejectors rather than round ejector pins. Toolmakers and mold maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This ejector blade is suited for injection mold and die casting tooling in both production and maintenance environments. It is typically installed in mold bases where narrow, flat ejector geometry is required to clear ribs, walls, or other thin-section features in the molded part. The blade profile allows ejection in areas where a round pin would not fit or would leave an unacceptable witness mark. This part ships in a quantity of one per package and is intended as a replacement component for worn or damaged ejector blades in existing mold assemblies.

Key Features

• Blade thickness of 0.0940 inches for use in narrow ejector blade pockets
• Blade width of 0.4220 inches provides adequate ejection surface for thin-section part features
• Overall length of 7.5 inches accommodates standard mold base ejector plate stack heights
• Blade-style geometry allows ejection in ribbed or thin-wall areas not accessible with round pins
• Sold individually, allowing single-piece replacement without purchasing excess stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ejector blade for injection mold and die casting tooling that requires a blade measuring 0.0940 inches thick by 0.4220 inches wide.

Installation Notes

Ejector blades are installed by toolmakers or mold maintenance technicians. The mold must be fully de-energized and all hydraulic or pneumatic clamp pressure must be relieved before servicing the ejector system. Blades should be measured and confirmed against the existing pocket dimensions before installation to ensure proper fit and avoid binding during the ejection stroke. Do not force a blade into a pocket that is undersized, as this can damage the mold base or cause premature blade failure.
