Gibraltar SL-806 Side Lock 1/2-13 Thread Mold Hardware

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SL-806 is a side lock component designed for use in mold blank and punch die set assemblies. It functions as a mechanical locking element within the mold structure, securing moving components during the molding cycle. Rated for a 1/2-13 thread size, the SL-806 measures 1.25 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 4.25 inches in height, weighing 0.5 pounds. This hardware is installed by toolmakers, moldmakers, and die cast technicians working on production tooling systems.

The SL-806 is suited for die cast mold and injection mold applications. It serves as a replacement or build component in mold base assemblies where side locking is required to maintain alignment and prevent unwanted lateral movement of mold components during press cycles. Its compact form factor fits standard mold base configurations used in production tooling environments.
