Gibraltar STBGP-5502 Die Mold Straight Bushing Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR STBGP-5502 is a straight-style die mold bushing machined from steel and designed for press-fit installation in mold bases, jigs, and tooling fixtures. The bushing features a 0.8755-inch inside diameter and a 1.2505-inch body diameter, providing precise bore guidance for leader pins, guide pins, and similar components. Its self-lubricating construction eliminates the need for external grease fittings, reducing maintenance cycles in high-cycle tooling environments. This part is installed by tool and die makers, mold technicians, and precision machinists working in industrial fabrication and manufacturing settings.

The STBGP-5502 is suited for use in straight-bore applications within injection molds, stamping dies, and similar precision tooling assemblies. The press-fit attachment method allows the bushing to be driven or pressed into a mating bore without additional fasteners, securing it firmly in the tool base. At 0.5 pounds and with an overall length of approximately 0.88 inches and a height of 1.5 inches, this is a compact, drop-in replacement component for standard straight bushing positions in industrial mold sets.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight bushing for standard die mold base applications requiring a 0.8755-inch bore and press-fit attachment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tool and die technicians or mold maintenance personnel. The mold or tooling assembly must be fully de-energized, depressurized, and cooled before bushing removal or installation. A hydraulic or arbor press is the standard tool for seating press-fit bushings to proper depth without damaging the bore or bushing face. Verify bore diameter and surface finish in the mold base before pressing the bushing into place to ensure a proper interference fit.
