PCS Company introduces M-2 ejector pins, an enhancement to its already extensive line of high-quality, precision ejector pin products for plastic injection molds.
M-2 ejector pins are made of high-speed steel, which gives them higher wear resistance and better machineability than other currently available pins, according to PCS. Pin diameters range from 1/32" through 1/4" with lengths of 6" and 10". The diameters are precisely ground to provide dimensional stability and high surface finish quality .
“The M-2 ejector pins were added for customers who, increasingly, are requiring the specification of M-2 high-speed steel for their particular molding applications and tool designs,” Paul Hauser, product manager, says.
M-2 ejector pins are through hardened to 60-63 RC, with a diameter tolerance of 0.0003". Additional features include eliminating chipping from form work and their ability to be used either as an ejector pin or core pin
