Brass Blade Stock Baffle - Inch

This brass blade stock baffle is used inside water-cooled injection mold bases to split and redirect coolant leaving machined waterlines. In practical tooling, it supports controlled multi-channel flow, helping stabilize temperature distribution across the mold cavity area while reducing dead zones.

• Automotive connector and bracket molds: Install along straight waterlines to divide flow into narrower channels, improving thermal uniformity around ribs and thick-to-thin transitions.
• Consumer electronics housings: Use as part of interior cooling layouts where multiple gated regions need more consistent cooling rates to limit differential shrinkage.
• General mold heating/cooling manifolding: Pair with PCS straight and spiral blade baffle components since the part is supplied to matching tolerances, enabling repeatable assembly and alignment.

Solid brass construction is suited for these applications because it maintains stable geometry for repeatable fit during assembly of baffle boards over ongoing production runs.

This baffle stock is made from solid brass. Brass provides good dimensional stability and predictable machining behavior for mold interior cooling components, which is essential when the baffle must align with machined waterlines and mate to related PCS baffle parts.

• Manufacturing: Typically CNC-machined or milled to the specified blade width and thickness, then cut to the standard blade-stock length for interior cooling layouts.
• Heat treatment: The provided specifications do not state a specific quench-and-temper, nitriding, or similar heat treatment state, so no hardness value (HRC) is claimed here.
• Property trade-offs: Brass is generally chosen for reliable fit and stable geometry in cooling channels; however, compared with hardened tool steels, it is not selected for extreme abrasive wear performance or high-temperature structural load bearing.

Select the plug size, blade width, and blade thickness to match your mold’s machined waterline geometry and the intended channel split. This unit is offered with Plug Size (in) of 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", or 1", Blade Width (in) of 9/16", 11/16", 15/16", or 1-1/8", and Blade Thickness (in) of 0.093" or 0.102".

• Match the plug size: Use the plug size that corresponds to the inlet/transition region of the machined waterline where the baffle seats or interfaces.
• Match blade width and thickness: Choose blade width to define the channel separation width, and thickness to fit the available slot depth and maintain controlled flow.
• Fit and tolerances: The component is stated to use the same tolerances as PCS straight and spiral blade baffles to support repeatable assembly—confirm your cavity/core cooling layout references the PCS tolerance scheme.

Blade-stock is supplied as standard 36” lengths for planning and efficient cutting to your interior cooling layout dimensions.
