The Self-Locating Advantage
Stepped pillars press their shoulder into a counterbore, mechanically trapping the pillar. Round pillars rely on friction fit which can loosen under thermal cycling and vibration.
Why Stepped Support Pillars Simplify Mold Base Installation
Key Takeaway: The shoulder step provides positive mechanical retention — the pillar cannot shift. Only the shoulder bore needs precision machining (H7).
