Point Larger than Shank Ball Lock Punches (Light Duty) Metric XN DayTride Coating

This light-duty ball-lock punch variant is used in metric injection and forming tooling where ejector alignment and repeatable lock action are critical. The larger point than shank geometry helps maintain stable engagement with the mating lock components, improving positioning during repeated ejection cycles.

Automotive connector and bracket housings: In molds with frequent start-stop cycles, the XN DayTride® coating supports surface protection against galling and wear, helping maintain consistent ejector performance in high-frequency ejection areas.

Appliance and consumer product enclosures: For medium cavity counts and lighter-duty wear conditions, these metric-compatible punches fit common die-set architectures while keeping lock engagement predictable across tool builds.

• Controlled ejection positioning via point larger than shank
• Light-duty protection through XN DayTride® coating
• Metric tooling compatibility for repeatable assembly

The provided data specifies performance-oriented geometry (point larger than shank) and an XN DayTride® coating, but it does not list an underlying steel grade or explicit heat-treatment/HRC values. For engineers, the key material-relevant element you can rely on from the specification set is the coating’s role in reducing wear and galling during ejection.

• Coating function: XN DayTride® is selected to improve surface protection under light-duty production conditions, supporting smoother sliding/lock engagement.
• Heat treatment: Not specified in the input data for this series; confirm the base material and any quench/temper or nitriding requirements with the supplier’s material certs.
• Trade-offs: In general, coatings can improve wear/galling resistance without changing core toughness, but final durability still depends on the unlisted base steel and its hardness.

If you need an explicit hardness (HRC) or steel designation for your tool life study, provide the steel spec or request the CoC for this series code.

Select the punch dimensions by matching the shank diameter (D), point length (L1), and overall length (L) to your ejector system design and available space in the die set.

• D (shank dia.) options: 13, 16, 20, 25, 32 mm. Choose the diameter that matches the locating bore or guide interface in your mold tooling.
• L1 (fixed point length): 19 to 30 mm. Use this to control the engagement depth and ejection positioning stability of the ball-lock system.
• L (fixed overall length): 80 to 100 mm. Verify the stroke/clearance requirements so the punch fully engages without bottoming or over-travel.
• P and W ranges (variable): P = 13.1–32 / 16.1–38 / 20.1–40 / 25.1–44 / 32.1–50 mm; W = 1.57–27.8 mm. Use P for form/step geometry compliance and W for the required profile width.
• R ranges (variable): 0.2–16 to 0.2–25 mm, depending on variant. Choose the radius that fits your mating pocket radii.

Because tolerance values are not provided, confirm fit/clearance with your ball-lock seat and guide-bore tolerances; select the exact point shape (H, J, K, L, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z) so the geometry matches the mating components.
