Gibraltar TPL-322 Taper Lock Interlock Punch Die Hardware

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR TPL-322 is a taper lock and interlock mold blank and punch die set hardware component designed for use in precision tooling applications. This part provides secure locking engagement within die assemblies, maintaining alignment and holding force during high-cycle molding operations. With a 10-24 thread size and a compact footprint measuring 1.19 inches in height, 0.50 inches in width, and 1.19 inches in length, the TPL-322 fits standard mold base configurations without modification. It is installed by toolmakers, mold technicians, and die maintenance professionals working in production tooling environments.

The TPL-322 is suited for use in die cast mold and injection mold applications. Its taper lock and interlock design makes it appropriate for mold bases where repeatable, precise component seating is required. The compact dimensions allow integration into tight mold base layouts common in both prototype and production tooling setups. This hardware is typically specified during mold build or as a replacement component during scheduled mold maintenance.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified toolmakers or mold maintenance technicians. Before replacing or installing this component, ensure the mold is fully de-energized, cooled, and safely staged on a mold bench or press with all clamping forces released. Use calibrated hand tools appropriate for 10-24 threaded fasteners to avoid cross-threading or galling. Follow your facility safety procedures and applicable tooling standards when disassembling or reassembling mold components.
