Gibraltar SLS-105 Side Lock M5-1.00 Mold Hardware

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SLS-105 is a side lock component used in mold blank and punch die set assemblies. It provides secure lateral locking within die cast and injection mold tooling setups, keeping mold components properly aligned during cycling. The SLS-105 features an M5-1.00 threaded connection and compact dimensions measuring 1.73 inches in height, 1.5 inches in width, and 0.51 inches in length. Weighing 0.5 pounds, it is sized for precise fitment in tight mold cavities. Toolmakers, mold technicians, and die cast tooling specialists are the primary installers of this component.

The SLS-105 is designed for use in die cast mold and injection mold applications. It is suited for production tooling environments where repeatable lateral locking and consistent mold alignment are required across high-cycle operations. The compact profile allows integration into existing mold blank assemblies without major modification to surrounding tooling geometry. This part ships as a single unit and is ordered individually.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified toolmaker or mold technician with experience in die set and mold blank assembly. Ensure the mold is fully de-energized, de-pressurized, and cooled before servicing any internal locking components. Use appropriate hand tools rated for M5 fastener torque requirements per the mold manufacturer specifications. Verify thread engagement and alignment before resuming mold cycling operations.
