Ball Lock Ejector Punches - Light Duty, Inch

These light-duty ball lock ejector punches are used to drive controlled part release in compact die sets and small injection tooling where consistent locating during ejection is critical. The ball-lock geometry, including a tip larger than the shank, helps maintain stable positioning as the punch moves through the cycle.

• Compact stamping/die inserts: The XVP coating reduces friction and improves surface durability under repeated punch cycles, supporting smooth ejection in smaller die configurations.
• Small molded connectors and housings: Use the series where a reliable ejector action is needed for fine features; the dimensional coding supports repeatable fit with standard fixture workflows.
• Light-duty automation tooling: The range of inch shank diameters and coded lengths enables selection to match cavity/core ejection layouts while maintaining controlled release.

Overall, this variant is suited for applications that require predictable part release with wear-resistant, low-friction sliding behavior rather than heavy-duty impact performance.

The provided specifications emphasize an XVP coating for improved wear resistance and smooth ejection, which directly supports repeated-cycle durability at the punch surface. However, the input data does not list a specific steel grade or a stated heat-treatment condition (e.g., quenched & tempered, nitrided), so hardness (HRC) and base-material toughness trade-offs cannot be stated from the supplied information.

From a manufacturing standpoint, ball lock punches are typically finished to maintain tight geometry at the ball-lock interface (tip and shank relationship), then coated to reduce friction and resist wear during ejection strokes. The coating’s primary role is to lower sliding friction and help prevent surface degradation during high-frequency cycling.

• XVP coating: Improves wear resistance and smooth ejection behavior.
• Material/heat treatment: Not specified in the provided dataset; confirm steel grade and heat-treatment state for hardness and toughness requirements.

Select dimensions by matching your ejection travel and the clearance/fit requirements in the mold or die insert. This series is defined by L (Length) coded in the range 250 ～ 450 (coded inch), while D (shank diameter) is available at 0.3750”, 0.5000”, 0.6250”, 0.7500”, 0.8750”, 1.0000”.

• Step 1—Choose D (shank dia.): Match the shank to your guide/bushing bore ID and alignment needs; use the inch diameter that corresponds to your fixture standards.
• Step 2—Choose L (length): Confirm required stroke and stick-out for the cavity/core interface using the coded 250 ～ 450 length options.
• Step 3—Match ball-lock geometry: Ensure tip shape (H/J/K/L/N/O/R/V/X/Y/Z) matches your locating requirements. Use the provided variable ranges for P (0.376～0.875, 0.501～1.25, 0.626～1.5, 0.751～1.5, 0.876～1.75, 1.001～1.75 in) and W (0.062～0.867 in), plus the relevant R (0.007～0.4375, 0.007～0.625, 0.007～0.75, 0.007～0.875 in) range.

Tolerance note: The dataset does not provide explicit tolerance values; verify tolerance class compatibility with your ejector guide system and mating ball-lock pocket dimensions before finalizing selection.
