Gibraltar EY6506-G Die Mold Ejector Sleeve Nitride Die Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR EY6506-G is a nitride coated die steel ejector sleeve designed for die mold tooling applications. It features a 0.625-inch inside diameter, a 0.875-inch outside diameter, and an overall length of 5 inches. The sleeve incorporates a 1.125-inch head diameter with a 0.25-inch head height, a 45-degree chamfer angle, a 3/64-inch chamfer length, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. Nitride coating provides enhanced surface hardness and wear resistance, extending service life in high-cycle mold environments. This component is installed by toolmakers and mold technicians during mold assembly or repair operations.

This ejector sleeve is suited for use in injection mold tooling, die casting, and related mold-making applications where precise ejection of formed parts is required. The nitride coated die steel construction makes it appropriate for production molds operating under repeated thermal and mechanical cycling. It is sold individually and is a direct-fit sleeve intended for installation into standard ejector plate assemblies in industrial tooling setups.

Key Features

• Nitride coated die steel construction for improved surface hardness and wear resistance
• 0.625-inch inside diameter and 0.875-inch outside diameter for precise fit in ejector plate bores
• 5-inch overall length suitable for standard mold base depths
• 1.125-inch head diameter with 0.25-inch head height for positive seating in ejector plates
• 45-degree chamfer angle with 3/64-inch chamfer length and 1/32-inch corner radius for controlled ejection geometry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or tooling component for standard die mold ejector plate assemblies requiring a 0.625-inch inside diameter ejector sleeve.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified toolmakers or mold technicians. Before servicing or replacing ejector components, ensure the press is fully shut down, locked out, and all hydraulic or pneumatic pressure is relieved per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify bore dimensions and ejector plate clearances before installation to confirm proper fit and alignment. Do not force the sleeve into the bore; use appropriate press-fit tooling to avoid damaging the nitride surface coating.
