Month 10/11/12 Double Ring Date Mark Pin Sets
Double ring date mark pin sets are designed for press-fit installation and clear mold readouts, combining an inside arrow with an outside ring for consistent date marking. The concave character form helps maintain legible impressions under production load.
- Concave character design with double ring date indication for clear month/day layouts
- Built as an assembly of inside arrow + outside ring to stabilize marking appearance
- Press-fit type mounting supports repeatable positioning during mold operation
- Use for production date tracking with Month indication: 10/11/12

Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
This double-ring date mark pin set is used in injection mold tooling where molded parts require durable, fast-to-read traceability marks, especially for month/day/indicator layouts. The press-fit mounting helps lock the insert’s position for repeatable impressions across production cycles.
- Date-recycle marking: Suitable for components that must display Month 10/11/12 reliably; the concave character and double-ring structure improve legibility under molding load.
- Packaging and labeling substrates: Common in molds for small housings and caps where molded indicators must remain readable without post-processing; inside arrow paired with the outside ring stabilizes the visual marking.
- Gas-vent / insert neighborhoods: Works in cavity regions that combine venting and marking features; the assembly-style inside arrow + outside ring design supports consistent readouts when multiple features are present.
Select the variant with the required outer diameter D = 6, 8, 10, or 16 mm to ensure clean cavity/core integration and consistent character depth/readability.
Material & Process Details+
Material and heat-treatment details are not provided in the supplied specifications for this MISUMI date mark pin set. As a result, hardness (HRC), wear resistance, and specific thermal treatments (e.g., quench & temper, nitriding) cannot be stated from the available data.
When integrating this type of press-fit date mark insert into a steel mold base, engineers typically choose tool steels based on the trade-off between surface wear resistance (better for high-cycle marking) and core toughness (better for maintaining accuracy around the feature). If your shop standard uses a specific steel grade for date/character pins, align the insert material and treatment with that standard to achieve comparable wear and dimensional stability.
- Verify insert steel grade with the supplier’s drawing before committing to a production run.
- Match treatment level to expected cycle count and molding abrasiveness.
- Confirm final dimensional tolerance after any post-processing (grinding/finishing).
Sizing & Selection Guide+
Use the provided dimensional parameters to match the pin set to the mold cavity/core location and to avoid misalignment that could blur the molded concave characters. This product is offered with multiple outer diameter D (mm): 6, 8, 10, 16, while the Month Indication is fixed at 10/11/12 and the Year is fixed at 26.
- Select the correct D to fit your press-fit pocket design. The press-fit method requires the pocket and insert to be designed together (diameter interference/clearance depends on your vendor tolerance standard).
- Confirm feature compatibility: because the marking includes an inside arrow and an outside ring assembly, ensure your pocket shape and surrounding steel thickness provide clearance for the full character profile.
- Match the traceability needs: the variable indication supports Year/Month (Double ring) and Date (Double ring), but the month wording is fixed to 10/11/12 and year is fixed to 26.
If you are designing tooling, request the insert’s drawing-level dimensions and tolerance data to finalize press-fit interference and maintain sharp character impressions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which outer diameter (D) options are available for this double-ring date mark pin set, and how do I choose the correct one?+
The available outer diameter D (mm) values are 6, 8, 10, and 16. Choose the D that matches your mold’s press-fit pocket design and the surrounding clearance for the concave character profile. For accurate press-fit performance, use the supplier drawing for pocket interference/clearance tolerances.
Is the month character set adjustable, or is it fixed to 10/11/12 in this version?+
In this variant, the Month Indication is fixed at 10/11/12 indication. The set is designed for month/day readouts with the double ring structure, but you should not expect other month ranges without selecting a different part/series.
What does “inside arrow + outside ring assembly” imply for cavity/core design around the date mark?+
The marking is formed as an assembly combining an inside arrow with an outside ring, which helps stabilize the visual marking appearance. When designing the cavity/core pocket, ensure the geometry provides clearance for both the arrow and the ring so the concave characters remain crisp under load.
The specs mention variable year/month and date—how does that relate to the fixed year value of 26?+
The specification indicates Year/Month (Double ring) and Date (Double ring) as variable indications. However, for this version the Year is fixed at 26 and the Month Indication is fixed to 10/11/12, so the traceability content is constrained to those selections while following the double-ring/date marking format.
What tolerance and fit assumptions should I plan for when using a press-fit mounting date mark pin set?+
Because this pin set is intended for press-fit mounting, the pocket and insert should be designed with an interference/clearance approach consistent with your mold standards. The provided data lists D values (6/8/10/16 mm) but does not provide tolerance figures, so confirm the insert’s drawing-level dimensions before finalizing the pocket bore and calculating risk of character distortion.
