Ball Lock Ejector Punches - Heavy Duty, Inch, XCD Coating

These heavy-duty ball lock ejector punches are used in injection mold tooling where ejection reliability and point stability directly affect cycle consistency and dimensional control.

• Automotive and industrial part ejection: In multi-cavity or progressive applications, the ball-lock point helps resist point movement under repeated strokes, supporting stable fit in punch-and-die sets during high cadence production.
• Robust inch-series tooling: The inch-based variants are suitable for standard American mold component architectures, making it easier to integrate into existing ejector layouts while maintaining controlled positioning during ejection.
• High-wear molding inserts: The XCD coating variant is well-suited for environments where abrasion and sliding at the point area reduce service life; it helps extend wear performance while maintaining consistent ejection behavior.

Select the applicable tip shape and group based on your ejector geometry to match retention requirements and stroke-to-station alignment.

The provided product data specifies an XCD coating for abrasion resistance, intended to improve sliding/wear performance at the punch point during repeated ejection cycles. However, the input does not list a specific steel grade, base material heat treatment state, or target hardness (HRC), so those values cannot be stated reliably.

• Coating function (XCD): Designed to improve wear resistance where material loss and surface abrasion drive downtime.
• Wear vs. toughness consideration: Coatings can enhance surface durability, but real performance depends on the underlying steel toughness and the contact mechanics in your mold cavity/core.
• Material comparison: No alternative steel/coating grades are included in the supplied specifications, so a numeric comparison cannot be made.

For hardness, base steel grade, and heat treatment, confirm the exact item drawing from your series code before final qualification.

To select the correct ball lock ejector punch dimensions, start from the mold’s ejector system design: cavity/core thickness, stripper plate spacing, and the mating bore profile required for controlled positioning.

• Shank diameter (D): Choose D in the range 37 ~ 125 in to match the designated guide/fit size in your ejector layout.
• Length (L, coded inch): Select L from the available coded ranges 250 ~ 450 (or 275 ~ 450). Ensure the total projected stroke and stop-to-contact geometry provide clearance for the ejector travel.
• Point/geometry: Match Tip Shape (H, J, K, L, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z) and the Jektole group (J4, J6, J9, J12) to the ball-lock point interface used in your punch-and-die set.
• Cross-sectional features: Verify P (0.376 ~ 1.251 in), W (0.062 ~ 1.083 in), and R (0.007 ~ 1 in, depending on the variant) align with the mating component tolerances.

Because tolerance/fit data is not provided in the input, rely on the manufacturer’s technical drawing for clearance values and locking retention checks.
