About Round Support Pillars

Round support pillars are the standard choice for mold plate support. Through-hardened SUJ2 bearing steel (HRC 58-62) provides maximum compressive strength. Available in Ø20-50 mm with precision-ground heights to ±0.01 mm.

Application Scenarios

🏭

High-Tonnage Production Molds

Production molds under 300+ ton clamping need maximum support to prevent plate deflection and parting line flash.

Why it fits: Round pillars in SUJ2 provide the highest load capacity per unit cross-section (80 kN @ Ø40 mm), with HRC 58-62 hardness resisting compressive deformation.

Recommended:Round Support Pillar — Ø40 mm, SUJ2

Frequently Asked Questions

What diameter and height range is available for round support pillars?+
Diameter: Ø20-50 mm. Height: custom ground to ±0.01 mm. Standard stock heights from 30-200 mm.
How do I calculate the number of support pillars needed?+
Total pillar load must exceed 120% of clamping force. Pillar spacing ≤ 200 mm center-to-center. Example: 300-ton mold → need ≥ 360 kN → 5× Ø40 (5×80=400 kN) ✓
What is the load capacity per pillar for standard round pillars?+
Ø20=25 kN, Ø30=50 kN, Ø40=80 kN, Ø50=120 kN (SUJ2, HRC 58-62, compressive yield).
