Point Larger than Shank Ball Lock Punches - Light Duty, Metric

These light-duty metric point-and-shank ball lock punches are used in injection mold tooling where ejector/punch retention must stay stable through repeated cycles. The enlarged point area (relative to the shank) helps maintain positive ball lock engagement and reduces mispositioning during frequent assembly/disassembly of die sets.

• Automotive connector and bracket molds: suited for light-duty die blocks and ejector punch components where consistent lock seating supports reliable part-to-part repeatability under moderate loads.
• Appliance and consumer product tooling: the metric geometry supports standardized punch sets and simplifies interchangeability across common fixture dimensions.
• Thin-wall or low-cycle housings: tip length control helps coordinate engagement depth while the selectable tip shapes (X, R, K, O, H, L, J, N, V, Y, Z) allow matching to different lock/bearing wear conditions.

Choose the appropriate tip shape and shank diameter from the available ranges to match your punch design and ball lock interface requirements.

The provided specification data for this DAYTON series lists geometry and tip options (tip shape, shank diameter, point length, and dimensional groups) but does not include a steel grade, hardness (HRC), or heat-treatment condition. As a result, material properties such as wear resistance and toughness trade-offs cannot be stated from the input.

• Heat treatment: not specified in the supplied parameters.
• Hardness (HRC): not specified in the supplied parameters.
• Wear vs. toughness: depends on the actual steel selection and heat treatment, but that information is not present in the provided metadata.

For accurate selection of wear resistance and durability for your cycle count and mold steel environment, confirm the matching material/heat-treatment specification for series code 250301837482 with your tooling supplier documentation.

Select the ball lock punch dimensions by matching the shank diameter, point length, and tip shape to the mating lock feature in your mold base components.

• Shank diameter (D): choose from 13, 16, 20, 25, 32 mm to match the ball lock receiver geometry and available bore/pocket sizing.
• Point length (L1): fixed at 19–30 mm; use this to control engagement depth for the lock interface.
• Overall length (L): variable in 80–100 mm to fit your ejector/punch stack height and clearance requirements.
• Tip shape: select one of H, J, K, L, N, O, R, V, X, Y, Z to align with the specific punch design and wear/forming needs of your mold.
• Other interface dimensions: verify P range (e.g., 13.1–32 mm, 16.1–38 mm, 20.1–40 mm, 25.1–44 mm, 32.1–50 mm) and W (1.57–27.8 mm) and R (0.2–16/19/20/22/25 mm) against the cavity/core drawings.

Tolerances are not provided in the input data; rely on your receiving components’ dimensional tolerances and fit notes to ensure proper lock engagement without binding.
