Standard guiding systems

The standard guiding system is used to guide the two mould halves. It essentially consists of guide pillars, guide bushes and centring sleeves.

The high-quality guiding elements match perfectly to our comprehensive range of cavity plates.

Tuotteisiin

Guiding system with two fitting diameters

Guiding system with two fitting diameters for an optimal fit in the guiding hole
Second fitting diameter enables easy assembly and removal

Anti-rotation protection

The correct assembly of the mould halves is guaranteed by the ‘3 + 1’ principal. Three guiding elements with a large diameter and one guiding element with a smaller diameter are installed.

Mould bases designed in the Meusburger web shop have the 3 + 1 principle automatically.

Guiding elements with DLC coating

Increased corrosion resistance and service life
Best dry-running properties enable use in cleanrooms
Minimised wear thanks to excellent sliding properties

Sliding guide with self-lubricating sinter layer

Ideal for self-lubricating applications thanks to the oil depot and solid lubricant MoS2 in the sinter layer
The frictional heat causes the oil to rise to the sliding surface. Due to its capillary action the oil retreats back into the sinter layer (when the machine is idle).
The ideal diffusion zone between the sinter layer and the steel sheath ensures inseparable molecular bonds
High resistance to abrasive wear and very good emergency operating features without additional lubrication

E 11206

Ball guides – precise and smooth running

Virtually free of play thanks to optimum preload
E 1144 Recirculating ball bushing: limited stroke in comparison to E 1140 + E 1332 ball cages
Ball cages: higher load capacity compared to recirculating ball bushing

– can become overloaded at high shear forces due to the point contact

Flat guiding unit

Vertical installation from the split line face
Advantage: machining of pocket and thread in one clamping operation
Horizontal installation from the side
Advantage: space-saving installation
