Gibraltar GEB-509 Die Mold Straight Bushing Solid Bronze

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GEB-509 is a solid bronze die mold straight bushing designed for guided ejector applications in injection mold and die tooling assemblies. With a body diameter of 1.4961 inches and a press-fit attachment method, this bushing installs directly into the mold plate without additional fasteners. The non-self-lubricating solid bronze construction requires periodic lubrication during service intervals, making it well suited for controlled tooling environments where the technician manages lubrication schedules. Mold makers, tool and die technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers for this component.

This bushing is used in die mold and injection mold tooling where guided ejector systems require precise alignment of ejector pins or components. The press-fit design ensures a secure, repeatable installation within the mold plate bore. At 1.5 inches wide by 1.5 inches long by 1.77 inches in height, the GEB-509 fits tooling assemblies built around standard guided ejector bushing specifications. It is commonly found in production molds used across plastics, rubber, and light metal die casting operations.

Key Features

• Solid bronze construction provides durability and reliable wear resistance in high-cycle mold applications
• Press-fit attachment method eliminates the need for external fasteners during installation
• Guided ejector bushing type ensures precise alignment of ejector components within the mold assembly
• Non-self-lubricating design allows the technician to control lubrication type and interval for the application
• 1.4961 inch body diameter suits standard guided ejector bore specifications in die mold tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for die mold and injection mold tooling systems that use standard press-fit guided ejector straight bushings with a 1.4961 inch body diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified tool and die technician or mold maker. Before installation, ensure the mold plate bore is clean, dimensionally correct, and free of burrs. Press the bushing into the bore using an arbor press or hydraulic press applying even, axial force. Do not use impact tools, as uneven force can damage the bushing bore or distort the press-fit interface. Apply appropriate lubrication to the bushing bore before placing the mold into service.
