Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
The LAR-style adapter ring is used in precision injection mold builds where locating ring assemblies must repeatably center sprue components under clamping and molding loads. In automotive connector and sensor housing molds, it provides a stable interface that helps maintain consistent sprue alignment across production cycles, reducing risk of gate/sprue positional variation.
It is also suitable for bolt-type and shoulder-type sprue formats, making it a practical choice when your tooling design standard varies by part family. For medical device housings and sterile component inserts, the predictable alignment supports reliable transfer of molten flow to thin features while minimizing flash caused by misregistration at the sprue connection.
- Locating ring integration for stable part positioning during assembly
- Sprue format compatibility (bolt and shoulder) to streamline tooling reuse
- Improved alignment consistency for precision gate/sprue interfaces
Material & Process Details+
Material and heat-treatment details are not provided in the available specification data for this LAR adapter ring. As a result, hardness (HRC) and wear-resistance characteristics cannot be stated reliably for this exact SKU.
In locating-ring systems, the typical engineering requirement is a balance between wear resistance (to resist fretting and micro-abrasion at the locating interface) and toughness (to avoid chipping under clamping loads). Many suppliers address this using tool steels that are quenched and tempered, or case-hardening such as nitriding, but those processing states must be confirmed for this specific component.
- Data not specified: steel grade, HRC hardness, and heat treatment state for SKU 110200080610
- Selection note: confirm material certs before specifying for high-cycle or abrasive molding
Sizing & Selection Guide+
To select the correct LAR adapter ring, match the locating ring outer diameter (D) and height (T) to the mating locating ring assembly and the available space in your sprue/bushing stack-up.
- Diameter D options: 100 mm or 120 mm
- Height T options: 10 mm, 15 mm, or 20 mm
In practice, choose D first so the adapter ring interfaces correctly with the locating ring outer geometry in your core/cavity layout. Then select T to achieve the required axial engagement while maintaining clearance to adjacent sprue components and any retention hardware.
Tolerance guidance: because specific dimensional tolerances are not listed in the provided data, rely on your locating-ring drawing standards and verify fit (sliding vs. snug vs. interference) based on the mating part tolerances in your BOM.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the LAR adapter ring compatible with both bolt-type and shoulder-type sprue formats?+
Yes. This LAR adapter ring is described as compatible with both bolt type and shoulder type sprue connections, allowing a common locating interface across different sprue design standards.
Which outer diameter (D) options are available for locating ring applications?+
The specified locating ring outer diameter D is available in 100 mm and 120 mm.
Match D to the mating locating ring outer geometry to ensure correct concentric alignment in the sprue stack.
What height (T) choices should I consider for axial engagement in the sprue stack?+
The component height T is available in 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm.
Select T based on required axial engagement and available clearance in the core/cavity assembly so the locating interface seats properly without interference.
Are the dimensional tolerances and fit (sliding vs. press) provided for this SKU?+
The provided specification data lists only D (100, 120 mm) and T (10, 15, 20 mm), and it does not include tolerance values.
For fit decisions, verify tolerances against the mating locating ring and sprue format drawings supplied for your tooling build.
What steel grade and hardness (HRC) are used for this adapter ring?+
The available product data does not specify the steel grade, hardness (HRC), or heat treatment state for SKU 110200080610.
