Gibraltar BHG3720-G Die Mold Shoulder Bushing Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BHG3720-G is a steel die mold shoulder bushing designed for precision tooling and mold-making applications. It features an inside diameter of 1.0005 inches, an overall length (OAL) of 1-3/8 inches, a bottom outside diameter of 1-3/8 inches, and a top outside diameter of 1.552 inches. The shoulder design provides a positive-stop seating surface, ensuring repeatable positioning within die sets and mold bases. Toolmakers, moldmakers, and die maintenance technicians install this bushing as a precision locating or guide component in stamping dies, injection molds, and similar tooling assemblies.

This bushing is suited for use in die mold assemblies requiring close-tolerance bore alignment and a stepped shoulder for positive axial location. It is appropriate for both new tooling builds and replacement in existing die sets where the original bushing has worn beyond tolerance. The 1.0005-inch ID provides the close fit commonly required for guide pin or insert applications in production tooling environments.

Key Features

• Inside diameter of 1.0005 inches for close-tolerance precision fit
• Overall length of 1-3/8 inches with a stepped shoulder for positive seating
• Bottom outside diameter of 1-3/8 inches and top outside diameter of 1.552 inches
• Steel construction for durability in high-cycle tooling applications
• Single-piece unit sold individually, suitable for direct replacement or new builds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for die mold assemblies requiring a shoulder bushing with a 1.0005-inch ID and 1-3/8-inch OAL.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians during die assembly or scheduled tooling maintenance. Press or arbor-press fitting may be required depending on the housing bore tolerance. Ensure the mold or die set is fully de-energized, de-pressurized, and secured before removing or installing bushings. Verify bore cleanliness and dimensional conformance before pressing the bushing to final position.
