What are the causes of ejection rod breakage?


Fatigue failure. The working process of the ejector rod is a process of alternating stress, so any factor that causes stress concentration may lead to fatigue failure. For example: 1) Steps with large changes in shaft diameter. 2) The transition part has no fillet, undercut, etc. 3) Surface scratches or accidental damage to the shaft surface during threading. 4) The surface roughness of the thread is too large. 5) The thread has been compressed for a long time, and the surface is damaged due to insufficient surface strength (at the die adjusting nut). 6) Improper heat treatment of the threaded surface can lead to stress concentration. 7) Material defects.

Fatigue failure.Ejection barThe working process of the ejection bar is a process of alternating stress, so any factor that causes stress concentration may lead to fatigue failure. For example: 1) Steps with large changes in shaft diameter. 2) Transition parts without fillets, undercuts, etc. 3) Surface scratches or machining threads accidentally damaging the surface of the shaft. 4) The surface roughness of the thread is too large. 5) The thread is compressed for a long time, and the surface is damaged due to insufficient surface strength (at the mold adjusting nut). 6) Improper heat treatment of the thread surface can cause stress concentration. 7) Material defects.
Overload fracture caused by the type of ejection bar depends on the deformation of the four bars to obtain clamping force. If the lengths of the four bars are different, the deformation will be different. For example, if one of the four is shorter, the shorter bar may bear a load far greater than the 1/4 clamping force it should bear, which will cause fracture. Temperature strain can cause fracture. If the lengths of the four bars are different, for example, one bar is long and three bars are short, the thermal stress caused by a sudden high temperature or a drop in the longer bar will be constrained by the other three bars and be static, causing the bar to fracture. If the mold becomes uneven due to compound strain, the comprehensive error of the connecting rod length (hinge), bearing seat height, and ejection bar length is too large. After straightening the connecting rod, the force on both sides will be uneven. Then: 1) Cause the rear template to swing, the tie rod to bend, and under the action of bending stress and tensile stress, the tie rod is easy to break. 2) If the product spews water, inexperienced operators will usually further increase the clamping force, which will cause the tie rod to break and the mold to deform due to overload. The damage caused by instantaneous impact stress is because the toggle type can only release the clamping force before opening the mold. Therefore: 1) The instantaneous impact when opening the mold will cause machine vibration and damage to the tie rod and other parts. 2) Because the entire clamping part (including the mold) is under stress for a long time, it will cause premature fatigue failure of the parts.
Solution 1. In the design, avoid abrupt changes in shaft diameter. At steps or undercuts, try using larger fillet transitions, select materials with better comprehensive performance, and special treatment must be carried out to solve the problem of thread surface hardness (wear), and also try to reduce surface stress concentration, improve surface finish, and minimize stress damage. 2. Ensure machining accuracy, especially the length of the connecting rod, the height of the bearing seat, the accuracy of the crosshead, and the positioning accuracy of the bearing seat on the template. 3. After assembling or disassembling the mold adjusting nut, pay special attention to the length of the four tie rods, and the distance between the mold adjusting nut and the rear template must be adjusted. 4. Analyze the reasons for product blushing, do not unilaterally increase the clamping force, if the mold is found to be uneven, it should be ground flat, if the length of the connecting rod is uneven, it should be corrected, including copper pads, paper, etc., or the corrected mold adjusting nut.

Summary of Experience with Failed Colin Column Balance Adjustment

Analyzing the causes of errors and summarizing lessons learned during work is an important way to improve work efficiency. Fault case: A Hetian injection molding machine's Collin column broke. The Collin column was replaced and the balance was adjusted, without needing any special tools.


Injection Molding Machine Accessories: Detailed Analysis of Common Temperature Problems!

Injection molding machine accessories. In co-ordinated control, the direction of the temperature sensor in the mold is critical. When placing the temperature sensor, the user must consider its shape, structure, and the direction of the cooling channels. In addition, the temperature sensor cannot be placed arbitrarily; it should be placed in an area that has a critical effect on the quality of the injection molded product. There are many ways to connect one or more high-temperature mold temperature controllers to the controller.


Injection Molding Machine Accessories: Standard Maintenance for Injection Molding Machines

Injection molding machine accessories. Everyone should formulate appropriate daily, monthly, and annual maintenance plans based on the condition of the equipment itself, and carefully implement them for each machine according to the plan. Before using the equipment every day, we should check whether each part of the equipment is normal, such as whether the machinery is working normally, whether the heating conditions of each part are normal, whether the circulating water pipes are leaking, whether the emergency stop button can cut off the motor power supply, etc.


What should be noted when repairing a faulty piston rod?

Piston rod failure is normal. The key is to pay attention to the precautions during specific maintenance. If non-professionals perform maintenance, many problems may arise. If possible, choose professional personnel. Maintenance efficiency and its own use value will be higher. We recommend that everyone should understand the following precautions when understanding piston rod maintenance.


What are some applications of piston rods?

In fact, even if we don't mention it, everyone should know quite a bit about piston rods. Of course, to ensure the efficiency of the piston rod, we must guarantee its performance and quality. If more friends are interested in this field, you can also Tel us to discuss your views, I believe this will be helpful to our work.


Connecting structure of piston rod and piston and how to choose piston rod

Piston rods offer significant advantages in practical applications, and the connecting rod structure of the piston is also unique. When used in combination, it is essential to carefully select hydraulic cylinders that demonstrate good operating and production performance. Such products will be highly reliable. The connection structure between the piston rod and piston, and the manufacturing method of the hydraulic cylinder with this piston rod, are essentially the same.


What does the mold pull rod spacing mean in the injection molding machine parameters?

The actual usable area of the template: the greater the distance between the ejector rods, the greater the actual width and height of the grinding tools that can be accommodated. Because injection molding machines need to install plastic injection molds between the moving template and the fixed template, plastic products can be processed. If the mold is to be installed between the two templates, it must pass through two adjacent ejector rods, so the shape of the mold must be smaller than the spacing between the ejector rods.
