INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Ejector Pin Hole

A precision hole in a mold cavity insert designed to accommodate ejector pins for part removal after casting.

Component Specifications

Definition
An ejector pin hole is a critical feature in precision casting mold cavity inserts, engineered to house ejector pins that facilitate the ejection of solidified castings from the mold. These holes are precisely machined to ensure proper alignment, minimal friction, and reliable operation during the ejection cycle, preventing damage to both the casting and the mold.
Working Principle
The ejector pin hole provides a guided pathway for the ejector pin to move linearly, applying force to the casting to separate it from the mold cavity after solidification. It ensures precise alignment and smooth operation, reducing wear and preventing part deformation.
Materials
Typically made from hardened tool steels (e.g., H13, P20, S7) or carbide for high-wear resistance, with surface treatments like nitriding or chrome plating to enhance durability and reduce friction.
Technical Parameters
  • Straightness 0.01 mm per 100 mm
  • Surface Finish Ra 0.4 μm or better
  • Depth Tolerance ±0.01 mm
  • Perpendicularity 0.01 mm to reference plane
  • Diameter Tolerance ±0.005 mm
Standards
ISO 8015, DIN 16760
