Gibraltar BHG3732-G Steel Shoulder Bushing 1.2505 in Id

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BHG3732-G is a steel die mold shoulder bushing designed for use in die sets, mold bases, and precision tooling applications. It features a press-fit attachment method and a friction-style bushing design that locates and guides mold or die components with close-tolerance accuracy. The inside diameter measures 1.2505 inches, the overall length is 2.375 inches, and the part weighs 0.63 pounds. This bushing is non-self-lubricating, making it suitable for applications where external or periodic lubrication is applied. Machinists, tool and die makers, and precision tooling technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This shoulder bushing is used in die mold assemblies where a stepped outer profile is required to seat and retain the bushing within a bored pocket. The bottom outside diameter of 1.6255 inches pilots into the bore, while the top outside diameter of 1.8020 inches forms the shoulder that seats against the mating surface. The head diameter measures 1.8125 inches with a head height of 0.1875 inches. It is suited for production tooling environments in stamping, injection molding, and similar precision manufacturing operations.

Key Features

• Press-fit attachment method for secure, non-rotating installation in mold or die bores
• Stepped shoulder profile with 1.6255 inches bottom OD and 1.8020 inches top OD for positive axial location
• 1.2505 inches inside diameter machined to close decimal tolerances
• Non-self-lubricating friction bushing design compatible with externally lubricated assemblies
• Steel construction provides durability under high-cycle tooling conditions
• Compact head profile at 1.8125 inches diameter and 0.1875 inches height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard die mold shoulder bushing applications where a press-fit, friction-type steel bushing with these decimal-inch dimensions is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a tool and die maker or precision machinist using an arbor press or hydraulic press to drive the bushing into a prepared bore. The receiving bore should be machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before installation. Do not use impact tools that may damage the bushing bore or distort the shoulder. Verify bore depth and alignment before pressing the bushing to final seating depth.
