SUJ2 Bearing Steel Multi-Step Precision Locating Core Pin
This one-piece stepped cylindrical core pin is precision hard turned and cylindrical ground for injection molds and automated positioning equipment, equipped with flat square tip, multi-stage transitional shoulder and slotted flange mounting base. It serves as high-precision indexing, forming and ejector core component for multi-cavity plastic molds and high-speed automation fixture stations.
- Material: SUJ2 High Carbon Bearing Steel
Hardness: HRC 60–64 after quenching & tempering
Tolerance: ±0.001 mm
Surface Finish: Full Mirror Precision Ground Surface
Multi-Step Stepped Core Pin Engineering
Multi-stage concentric stepped structure realizes integrated functions of product forming, axial positioning and limiting. The flat square tip avoids rotational slippage during workpiece indexing; smooth transitional shoulder eliminates plastic flow dead angle and weld lines during injection molding. Bottom slotted flange base enables quick positioning and bolt locking on mold plates and fixture bases, ultra-high coaxiality ensures consistent forming dimension after millions of mold opening and clamping cycles. Solid monolithic thick shaft body greatly improves bending resistance, resisting deflection under long-term ejection impact and high clamping pressure.
Ultra-Wear-Resistant SUJ2 Bearing Steel Construction
SUJ2 bearing steel delivers outstanding performance for long-cycle precision core pins:
- Full quenching heat treatment achieves ultra-high surface hardness, excellent anti-abrasion performance against repeated friction with plastic melts and workpiece contact
- Fine uniform grain structure maintains stable dimensional consistency under mold heating and cooling temperature cycles, no size drift after long-term production
- Mirror grinding eliminates surface micro burrs and unevenness, preventing scratch marks on high-gloss plastic product surfaces
- Good machinability to realize complex multi-step shoulder, flat tip and slotted flange integrated forming without secondary assembly Ideal for precision electronic plastic molds, cosmetic packaging molds and high-cycle automation indexing positioning stations.
