Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
These heavy-duty ball lock ejector punches are used in injection mold tooling where reliable part removal and stable retention are required, especially during high-cycle production. The ball lock mechanism helps maintain consistent blank holding and repeatable ejection, reducing the risk of mis-seating that can lead to part damage or short shots.
- Automotive and appliance components: When ejector travel must be dependable under abrasive or debris-prone conditions, the heavy-duty construction supports consistent performance across long runs.
- Industrial housings and covers: Use the inch-coded tip geometry options to match cavity/core layouts and ensure controlled release without excessive wear on punch faces.
- High-wear tooling environments: The CRN coating package is suited for applications where contact surfaces see recurring sliding/impact, helping limit wear and abrasive damage.
With multiple tip shapes (H, J, K, L, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z), this variant can be configured for varied part geometries and ejection requirements.
Material & Process Details+
This series is available in M2 and PS4 material options, enabling selection based on wear and toughness needs. M2 (high-speed steel) is typically chosen for its strong wear resistance and hardness retention under repeated ejection conditions; the trade-off is that it requires correct heat treatment to balance toughness and avoid brittleness at the working surface.
- M2: Commonly used in tooling where edge retention and wear resistance are critical; best suited when CRN-coated surfaces will experience frequent contact.
- PS4: Used when a different balance of toughness and wear performance is desired for specific tooling duty cycles.
- Coating: The CRN coating package is specified to help reduce tool wear and abrasive damage at the contact region.
For precise hardness (HRC) and heat-treatment state, confirm the exact supplied material certificate for the chosen option (M2 vs. PS4), as these values are not provided in the supplied dataset.
Sizing & Selection Guide+
Select ejector punch size by matching the punch shank diameter and functional lengths to your mold cavity/core and ejection stroke design. Start with D (shank diameter) from 37 ~ 125 in and choose the tip shape code that fits your part-release geometry.
- Standard point length / L: Options include 250 ~ 500, 250 ~ 600, 275 ~ 600, and 300 ~ 600 (coded inch).
- B, C, and D point length ranges: These are also configurable within 250 ~ 500, 250 ~ 600, 275 ~ 600, and 300 ~ 600 (with one listed option for D as 250 ~ 600, 275 ~ 600, 300 ~ 600).
- P and W features: P = 0.062 ~ 1 in, W = 0.062 ~ 0.5 in, and R = 0.007 ~ 0.007 in.
Confirm engagement length so the punch fully contacts the ejectable area without bottoming. If your system uses tight ejector bore fits, verify selected shank diameter clearance/tolerance against your ejector guide specs; tolerances are not included in the provided dataset.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which tip shapes (H/J/K/L/N/O/R/V/X/Y/Z) should I choose for consistent ejection with ball lock retention?+
Tip shape codes (H, J, K, L, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z) let you align the punch contact profile with your part’s release geometry. For ball lock ejector punches, stable retention is the goal; choose a tip shape that distributes contact where you want ejection force while minimizing localized stress on thin areas. Use the selected length ranges (e.g., L: 250–600 coded inch) to ensure correct engagement during the full ejection stroke.
When should I select M2 vs PS4 for ejector punches, and how does CRN coating change the wear expectations?+
This series is offered in M2 and PS4 material options, with a CRN coating package specified to reduce tool wear and abrasive damage. In practice, choose the material option that best matches your duty cycle and desired hardness retention; M2 is commonly selected for strong wear resistance, while PS4 may be selected for a different toughness/wear balance for specific tooling conditions. Final hardness (HRC) and exact heat-treatment state should be verified from the material certificate for the chosen option.
How do I size the shank diameter (D) and length (L/B/C/D point lengths) to match my mold cavity and ejection stroke?+
Begin with D (shank diameter) = 37–125 in and ensure it matches your ejector guide/bore design and clearance requirements (tolerances are not provided in the dataset). Then select the coded point lengths that match your required engagement: L is available in ranges such as 250–500, 250–600, 275–600, or 300–600 coded inch. If your design uses split/defined point lengths (B/C/D), choose from the listed ranges so the punch reaches the ejectable surface without bottoming.
What are the allowable ranges for P, W, and R dimensions, and where do these affect molding contact behavior?+
The dataset specifies P = 0.062–1 in, W = 0.062–0.5 in, and R = 0.007–0.007 in. These features typically influence local contact geometry and how the punch interfaces with the part surface during ejection. Use these values along with the selected tip shape code to tune contact area and reduce the risk of marking or uneven release, while keeping engagement lengths within the available coded ranges.
Does the Jektole group (J4/J6/J9/J12) affect selection, or is it mainly a catalog grouping?+
The series lists Jektole group options: J4, J6, J9, J12. In mold design terms, treat this as a configuration grouping tied to the punch family and associated sizing/geometry options, and select the group that aligns with the rest of your specified dimensions (D, tip shape, and coded point lengths). Because the dataset does not define the exact mechanical differences by group, validate group-to-geometry mapping against the supplier’s detailed spec sheet for the selected part number.
