Gibraltar STBGP-5500 Straight Die Mold Bushing Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR STBGP-5500 is a straight-style die mold bushing machined from steel and designed for press-fit installation in mold bases, jigs, and fixtures. With an inside diameter of 0.7505 inches and a body diameter of 1.1255 inches, this bushing provides a precise bore for guiding punches, pins, or other tooling components. The self-lubricating construction reduces the need for added grease or oil during operation, making it well suited for applications where routine lubrication is impractical. Machinists, tool and die makers, and mold builders typically specify this part when building or maintaining precision tooling assemblies.

The STBGP-5500 is intended for use in die mold and tooling applications where a press-fit, straight-style bushing is required. Its 0.7505-inch bore accommodates standard guide pins and leader pins in that diameter range. The bushing measures approximately 0.75 inches in length and 1.13 inches in width, fitting into standard mold base bores for this bushing class. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of one unit.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for die mold bases and tooling fixtures requiring a straight press-fit bushing with a 0.7505-inch inside diameter and 1.1255-inch body diameter.

Installation Notes

Press-fit bushings are typically installed by tool and die makers or machinists using an arbor press to avoid cocking or damaging the bore during seating. The receiving bore should be cleaned and inspected for burrs before installation. Do not hammer the bushing in directly without a driver or press fixture, as this can distort the bore geometry. Ensure the mold or fixture is fully de-energized and at rest before performing any bushing replacement.
