Slide Components
Slide stoppers, plungers, and retainers to manage slide core positions.
Accessory Pairing Guide
A slide core is only as reliable as its supporting accessories. Missing or improperly sized components lead to catastrophic crashes.
| Accessory | Function | Critical Sizing Metric | Failure Mode if Incorrect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slide Stopper (Limit Switch) | Sets final open position | Stroke length + 2mm safety margin | Angled pin misses hole on closing |
| Spring Plunger (Ball Catch) | Holds slide securely when open | Holding force > Slide weight × 1.5 | Slide drops down due to gravity |
| Cooling Hose Connectors | Allows coolant flow during movement | Flex radius & pressure rating | Hose rupture / Water leak in mold |
| Wear Shims | Adjusts slide preload height | Thickness increments (0.01mm) | Flash due to loose slide clearance |
Application Scenarios
Vertical Injection Molding
Gravity naturally pulls the slide down when the mold opens. High-tension retention is mandatory.
Recommended:Heavy-Duty Spring Plungers / Mechanical Locks
High-Speed Thin-Wall
Rapid opening/closing causes intense shock loads. Standard stoppers will shatter.
Recommended:Urethane-Cushioned Slide Stoppers
Design Rule: The holding force of the spring plunger must exceed the static friction and gravitational pull of the slide body combined.
