Shoulder bolts, or shoulder screws, are highly effective fasteners that provide stable spacing, smooth sliding, and rotational motion in various industries.
Mold Manufacturing Applications
In mold manufacturing, shoulder bolts are essential for ensuring precision and smooth operation within molds. These fasteners guide parts and components smoothly, enhancing both the accuracy of the molding process and the longevity of the molds.
The shoulder bolt's smooth cylindrical shoulder provides stable guidance, ensuring moving parts remain aligned without causing interference or damage to the mold cavity. This precise alignment is crucial to prevent defects in molded products.
Shoulder bolts also secure mold parts together while allowing for easy adjustment of spacing between components. This facilitates smooth operation and reduces strain on the mold, improving final product quality.
Made from high-strength materials, these bolts withstand high temperatures and pressures common in molding processes without degrading, even under repeated use. Their robust design ensures mold parts remain securely fastened and aligned over time.
The smooth shoulder design minimizes friction between moving components, reducing wear and tear and extending mold service life. This precision is especially important in industries like medical device manufacturing where quality standards are stringent.
304 stainless steel is a general-purpose grade containing at least 18% chromium and 8% nickel, widely used for equipment requiring good corrosion resistance and formability. The 'L' designation indicates lower carbon content (below 0.03%) which reduces intergranular corrosion susceptibility.
