Die sets made of special grey cast iron

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and guidelines for die sets made from special grey cast iron, focusing on their construction, applications, and ordering information. It includes technical data on various models and their components, emphasizing the use of self-lubricating sliding guides.

Specifications:

Die sets are made from special grey cast iron (GGL), which is alloyed and ultrasonically tested to ensure no cavities, tears, or inclusions.
Sliding guides are available in bronze-plated steel or solid bronze with solid lubricants, enhancing grindability and wear resistance.
Ball tracks and roller guides are included for precision.

Applications:

Steinel precision sliding guides with solid lubricants are suitable for tool and fixture manufacturing, allowing for longitudinal motions in various fitting positions.

Structure and Materials:

The guides consist of a guide pillar and an upper plate made of special grey cast iron, with built-in solid lubricant bushes.
Materials include steel with lubricant cups, molybdenum, disulfate, and graphite, providing self-lubrication and increased pressure tolerance.

Performance Parameters:

Maximum sliding speed is 30 m/min, with stroke speeds of 300-400 strokes/min under ideal conditions.
Guide clearance ranges from 2-7 μm, with options for more clearance upon request.

Advantages:

Maintenance-free operation due to self-lubricating properties, reducing the need for central lubrication systems.
Improved safety and cleanliness in production environments.
Cost and time savings in construction and assembly due to reduced parts and automation potential.

Installation Hints:

Guides should be glued into fixing bore holes (ISO H6) and not pressed to avoid narrowing the inner diameter.

Ordering Information:

Die sets are available in various standard sizes, with specific order numbers for different configurations (e.g., with or without threads, sliding guides, ball guides).
Tables provide detailed dimensions and specifications for each model, including working area, pillar location, and material type.

Acceptance Specifications:

Die sets conform to DIN 9811 part 1, with specific tolerances for flatness, parallelism, and rectangularity.
Testing data and tolerance values are provided for different dimensions and surfaces.
