Gibraltar BEB-506 Die Mold Straight Bushing 2.0005 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BEB-506 is a solid bronze straight bushing designed for guided ejector applications in die mold tooling. It features an inside diameter of 2.0005 inches and a body diameter of 2.5005 inches, providing precise dimensional control required in mold and die applications. The press-fit attachment method allows for secure, interference-fit installation into mold plates without the need for secondary fasteners. This bushing is non-self-lubricating, meaning it requires periodic lubrication as part of a maintenance program. It is installed and serviced by tool-and-die makers, mold technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working on injection mold or stamping die assemblies.

This bushing is suited for use in die mold tooling where consistent ejector pin guidance is critical to part quality and mold longevity. Typical applications include plastic injection molds, progressive stamping dies, and similar tooling assemblies that demand tight-tolerance bronze bushings for ejector system alignment. The solid bronze construction offers good wear resistance and machinability, making it appropriate for high-cycle tooling environments where bushing replacement is part of routine mold maintenance.

Key Features

• Solid bronze construction provides reliable wear resistance in high-cycle tooling applications
• Inside diameter of 2.0005 inches for tight-tolerance ejector pin guidance
• Body diameter of 2.5005 inches for press-fit installation into mold plates
• Press-fit attachment method eliminates need for additional fasteners
• Non-self-lubricating design requires scheduled lubrication for optimal service life
• Guided ejector bushing type maintains accurate ejector system alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight bushing for guided ejector systems in die mold tooling assemblies requiring a 2.0005-inch inside diameter press-fit bronze bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tool-and-die makers or mold maintenance technicians. The mold or die assembly should be fully de-energized and safely staged before bushing removal or installation. Press-fit installation requires an arbor press or hydraulic press of appropriate capacity to seat the bushing without distortion. Because this bushing is non-self-lubricating, establish a lubrication interval appropriate to cycle rates before returning the tooling to production.
