M-2 Steel Pins Well Suited for Abrasive Applications
Progressive Components highlights its M-2 pins, which can be used as either ejector or core pins, featuring high wear resistance.
Progressive Components announces the release of its new M-2 ejector pins, which are especially suited for high wear resistance with abrasive materials.
Engineered and manufactured to meet the demanding conditions of today’s injection molds, Progressive’s ejector pins feature tight tolerances held for sizing, roundness and straightness.
Expanding its extensive line of ejector pin options, the M-2 ejector pin is manufactured from M-2 tungsten-molybdenum high-speed steel and hardened to 60-63 HRC, which at its through-hardened core provides wear resistance against dishing when molding abrasive materials.
Ideal for accepting contours with high surface finish requirements, M-2 pins can be used as either ejector pins or core pins and are suited for high-heat applications.
Progressive’s ejector pins are available in straight and shoulder versions. Straight pin diameters range between 1/32" and 1/2", with lengths between 3" and 18". Shoulder Pin diameters range between 1/32" and 7/64", with 1/2", 2" or 3" shoulders and 6" or 10" lengths. Keyed, cut-to-length and custom options are also available.
