Overview: The document provides comprehensive specifications and guidelines for mechanical components and locks used in mold bases. It covers leader pins, bushings, guide locks, and various types of locks, detailing dimensions, material specifications, and ordering information.
Leader Pins: Different types of leader pins, including straight and shoulder styles, are specified with dimensions and material hardness. Made from AISI 1117 and AISI 4320 steel, these pins have a surface hardness of 58-62 HRC.
General Dimensions: Nominal diameters and tolerances are provided for precise alignment and fit, with detailed measurements for critical dimensions.
Bushings: The document details several types of bushings, such as bronze plated, graphite plugged, and steel shoulder bushings, with catalog numbers, dimensions, and notes on lubrication and material composition.
Graphite Plugged Bushings: Designed with oil-impregnated graphite plugs, these bushings require a light 20-weight oil for lubrication, avoiding grease.
Guide Locks: Specifications include dimensions, material details, and catalog numbers, designed for precise mechanical alignment and available in various sizes.
Ordering Information: Instructions for ordering components include catalog numbers and material specifications, emphasizing the correct prefix for different bushing types.
Material Specifications: Components are made from materials like AISI 1117, AISI 4320, and CA954 bronze, with specific hardness ratings and surface treatments for durability.
Locks Overview: Specifications for Guide Locks, Side Locks, Top Locks, and Taper Locks are provided, including Inch and Metric standards, dimensions, tolerances, and material hardness ratings.
Guide Locks: Available with dual radii for internal mounting, specifications include dimensions, screw sizes, and material hardness, with example catalog numbers like GL200X350-R.
Side Locks: Detailed with dimensions, tolerances, and screw specifications, available in Inch and Metric standards, with Black Oxide and Titanium Nitride coatings. Catalog numbers include SL37X100 and SL50X125.
Top Locks: Described with dimensions, tolerances, and material specifications, available with dual radii for internal mounting. Catalog numbers such as TL62X125 and TL100X150 are provided.
Taper Locks: Specified with outer and inner diameters, thread sizes, and material hardness, with catalog numbers like TLP50 and TLP75.
Material Specifications: Material hardness ratings include 80 HRC for surfaces and 58-60 HRC for cores, with coatings like Black Oxide and Titanium Nitride.
Additional Options: Shuttle Lock sets are available for various locks, with configurations for interchangeable inserts. Custom configurations can be requested.
Technical Information: Details on bearing cage materials, maximum mold temperatures, and maintenance recommendations are included. Locks should be mounted in the mold base.
Lock Selection Guide: Provides guidance for selecting locks based on mold base size, with recommendations for specific lock types and catalog numbers.
