Gibraltar BHG3736-G Steel Shoulder Bushing 1.2505 in Id

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BHG3736-G is a steel die mold shoulder bushing designed for precision tooling and die set applications. It features a 1.2505-inch inside diameter and an overall length of 4.375 inches, with a bottom outside diameter of 1.6255 inches and a top outside diameter of 1.802 inches. The head diameter measures 1.8125 inches with a head height of 0.1875 inches. Installed via press-fit, this friction-type bushing is non-self-lubricating and is intended for use by tool and die makers, machinists, and maintenance technicians requiring accurate bore alignment and guidance in die mold assemblies.

This shoulder bushing is suited for use in die sets, punch and die tooling, and precision mold fixtures where consistent bore alignment and load transfer between mold components are required. The shouldered design allows it to seat positively against the die plate, providing repeatable positioning across production cycles. It is a standard catalog component used in industrial tooling shops, stamping operations, and injection mold maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Steel construction for strength and wear resistance in high-cycle tooling applications
• Press-fit attachment method for secure, non-rotating installation in die plates
• Shoulder design with 1.8125-inch head diameter seats flush against mating surfaces for positive location
• Non-self-lubricating friction bushing requiring external lubrication as part of routine maintenance
• Precision inside diameter of 1.2505 inches for accurate guide pin or shaft alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for standard die mold shoulder bushing applications requiring a 1.2505-inch inside diameter and press-fit installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool and die makers or maintenance machinists. The bushing should be pressed into the die plate bore using a hydraulic or arbor press — never driven with an impact tool, as this can damage the bore or distort the bushing. Verify bore tolerances in the mating plate before installation to ensure proper press-fit interference. Because this bushing is non-self-lubricating, apply an appropriate die lubricant to the bore and running surfaces before placing the assembly into service.
