Gibraltar SLS-106 Side Lock M6-1.00 Thread Mold Hardware

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SLS-106 is a side lock component designed for use in mold blank and punch die set assemblies. It provides secure lateral locking within the mold structure, maintaining precise alignment and positional integrity during die cast and injection molding operations. Threaded to M6-1.00, the SLS-106 integrates directly into standard mold plate configurations. It weighs 0.5 pounds and measures 1.69 inches in height, 1.97 inches in width, and 0.63 inches in length. Toolmakers, mold designers, and die maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

The SLS-106 is suited for use in both die cast mold assemblies and injection mold tooling. It is typically installed during mold build or refurbishment, where reliable side locking action is required to prevent lateral movement of mold components under operating pressure. Its compact footprint makes it a practical fit for mold bases where space around the parting line is limited. This part ships in single-unit packaging, making it easy to source as an individual replacement or complement to an existing set.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified toolmakers or mold maintenance technicians. Before servicing any mold assembly, ensure the press or molding machine is fully de-energized, depressurized, and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Use calibrated torque tools appropriate for M6 fasteners to avoid thread damage. Do not force the component into the mold plate; verify thread engagement before applying torque.
