Gibraltar STBGP-5505 Die Mold Straight Bushing Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR STBGP-5505 is a straight-style die mold bushing machined from steel and designed for precision tooling and die set applications. With an inside diameter of 1.2505 inches and a body diameter of 1.6255 inches, this bushing provides accurate punch and guide pin alignment in mold and die assemblies. The press-fit attachment method ensures a secure, fixed installation in the die plate without the need for additional fasteners. A self-lubricating construction reduces maintenance intervals and supports consistent performance in repetitive cycling operations. This part is typically installed by tool and die makers and precision machining professionals working on stamping dies, injection mold frames, and related fixtures.

This bushing is suited for straight-bore guide applications in production tooling environments. Its steel construction handles the mechanical loads common in stamping and molding operations. The self-lubricating feature makes it well-suited for high-cycle tooling where frequent manual lubrication is impractical. The 1.6255-inch body diameter and 1.88-inch length provide a stable press fit in standard die plate bores machined to accept this bushing class.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durability under high-cycle tooling loads
• Inside diameter of 1.2505 inches for precise guide pin alignment
• Body diameter of 1.6255 inches sized for standard die plate press-fit bores
• Press-fit attachment method eliminates need for set screws or additional fasteners
• Self-lubricating material reduces maintenance requirements in production tooling
• Straight bushing style for direct drop-in replacement in die mold sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight bushing for die mold assemblies requiring a 1.2505-inch inside diameter and 1.6255-inch body diameter press-fit bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers or precision machinists. The bushing is pressed into a properly sized bore using an arbor press or hydraulic press; the receiving bore should be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before installation. Ensure the die set or mold frame is fully de-energized and all press tooling is locked out before removing or installing bushings. Do not drive the bushing in with impact tools, as this may cause misalignment or bore damage.
