Product Guide

🏭Application Scenarios+

These lifting bars are used in industrial injection mold tooling to support safe transport, installation, and maintenance of two-plate or three-plate molds. During crane handling, the threaded tap interface provides a repeatable attachment point so the sling/eye connection can be positioned consistently, helping maintain alignment as the mold is brought into the press.

  • Two-plate mold handling: Select the variant with the tap diameter (M) and hole offsets (C, E) matched to your mold lifting bosses to ensure the bars land correctly and avoid side-loading.
  • Three-plate mold positioning: Use the specified inter-hole pitch (H) and slotted hole pitch (S) range to accommodate thicker structures while keeping the lifting attachment geometry stable during maintenance.
  • Production environment servicing: The durable, precision hole geometry supports frequent use where consistent positioning reduces downtime caused by rework and realignment.
🔧Material & Process Details+

The provided metadata does not specify a steel grade, hardness (HRC), heat treatment state, or surface treatments for this lifting bar series. Because these parameters are not listed, Axiom Molds only recommends selecting the correct dimensional variant based on tap diameter and hole geometry.

  • Material selection: If you have a preferred alloy (e.g., through-hardened or nitrided options) for your workshop standards, confirm compatibility with your lifting hardware and load case.
  • Heat treatment: No pre-hardened, quenched-and-tempered, or nitrided conditions are specified in the input data, so treat heat-treatment characteristics as unspecified for this SKU.
  • Wear/toughness trade-offs: Lifting bars experience repeated handling loads; however, wear resistance and toughness trade-offs cannot be stated without the specified steel and hardness.

For exact metallurgical properties (grade, HRC, and treatment), please request the material data sheet for series code 110200137220.

📐Sizing & Selection Guide+

Correct sizing is driven by matching the lifting bar geometry to the mold’s tap and lifting-boss hole layout. Use the tap diameter (M) first: available sizes are M = 12, 16, or 20 mm.

  • Hole position matching: Confirm the C (hole position) range for your mold, depending on your chosen variant: 9–20, 12–25, or 15–25 mm. Then verify the E (tap hole position) against 49–175, 62–230, or 75–235 mm.
  • Pitch and length constraints: Ensure the inter-hole pitch (H) matches your lifting-boss spacing (examples include 9–332 and up to 100–440 mm, depending on variant). Match the L (L dimension) to your available envelope: 100–350, 124–460, 150–470, or 125–460 mm.
  • Slotted hole pitch: the fixed S = 1–15 mm should align with your hardware adjustment approach.

Because the dataset lists dimension ranges rather than single values, lock the final bar configuration to the exact mold drawings. Tolerance/fit details are not provided, so validate fit during trial assembly and confirm thread compatibility with your specified tap hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tap diameter (M) should I select for lifting a two-plate mold with this series?+
Choose the lifting bar variant by matching the mold’s lifting tap diameter to the available M values of 12, 16, or 20 mm. After selecting M, verify the hole offsets C and E fall within the corresponding ranges provided for the variant you plan to use. If the mold layout is outside those ranges, you should not use the bar without confirming compatibility to the drawing.
How do I verify compatibility between the lifting bar and a three-plate mold regarding hole spacing?+
Confirm the bar’s inter-hole pitch (H) matches your three-plate lifting-boss spacing. The available H ranges include multiple options such as 70–436, 100–440, and 60–332 mm depending on the variant. Then check the L dimension envelope (e.g., 124–460 or 150–470 mm) to ensure the bar fits without interference.
What should I match first: C, E, or L, when selecting the correct lifting bar geometry?+
Start with M (tap diameter) because it determines the thread interface. Next, match C (hole position) and E (tap hole position) to the mold’s lifting-boss layout. Use L afterward to confirm overall dimensional clearance, since it limits fit within the press and tooling environment.
Is the slotted hole pitch (S) adjustable, and what range should I expect?+
In the provided specifications, S (Slotted hole pitch) is listed as fixed with a range of 1–15 mm. The exact adjustable behavior is not described in the input data, so you should select the configuration that aligns with your mold’s lifting hardware and any adjustment strategy. For final confirmation, compare against the mold’s lifting fixture geometry.
Do you provide a single fixed dimension set, or do these bars come in multiple dimension ranges?+
This series is defined by multiple configurable dimension ranges rather than a single fixed set. The dataset lists variable ranges for C, E, H, and L, and variable tap diameter M (12/16/20 mm). Because the final configuration depends on your specific two-plate or three-plate layout, select the variant that falls within all relevant ranges from your mold drawing.
