Die sets
made from steel and cast-iron with lamellar graphite
Steel die sets
Standardised steel die sets are available in numerous sizes with two pillars in the diagonal, back-positioned and middle variants, as well as with four pillars. They are equipped with sliding or ball guides. The low-tension annealed frame plates are machined on all sides and plane-parallel ground. All steel die sets are tested in accordance with DIN 1690 Part 1, and are therefore free from cavities, cracks and inclusions. Depending on the variant, the die sets made of steel can be delivered with or without guide plates
Cast-iron die sets with lamellar graphite
The standardised cast-iron die sets with lamellar graphite can be delivered in numerous shapes and sizes. All cast-iron die sets with lamellar graphite are tested in accordance with DIN 1690 Part 1, and are therefore free from cavities, cracks and
inclusions. They are equipped with sliding or ball guides.
Die sets
for progressive stamping tools, steel plates
Die sets for progressive stamping tools
The standardised die sets for progressive stamping tools are equipped with sliding or ball guides and are available in various
sizes. These basic structures allow various production steps to be carried out successively, such as punching, embossing, and bending. Any generated lateral forces are optimally absorbed by the middle mount shoulder pillars in the guide plate.
Steel plates
The steel plates – made from the material 1.1730 (C45) – are
available in various sizes. They are low-tension annealed,
machined on all sides and plane-parallel ground.
Special designs
Die sets and plates can also be manufactured according to
your own specifi cations. The plates are, depending on their size, plane-parallel ground (up to 2000 x 1000 x 350 mm) or
precision-milled (up to 1500 x 350 mm).
At our production locations, we can quickly produce die sets matching your tool concept. We prefer processing low-tension annealed 1.1730 (C45) and the high-strength aluminium alloy
EN AW 7075 (AlZnMgCu1.5). Upon request, we also process
materials such as 1.2312 (40CrMnMoS8-6) and TOOLOX.
For us to be able to respond to your questions quickly and
succinctly, please send us your data in STEP or DXF format.
The highly-precise guide units from STEINEL are used in toolmaking, fixture manufacturing and machine engineering.
The range includes two types of roller guide (roller and ball guides) and three types of sliding guide (bronzed steel, with solid lubricant and solid lubricant rings).
Active elements
General
In punching and bending tools, active elements are the cutting
and shaping parts. Here, the highest requirements in dimensional accuracy and surface quality must be met. Active
elements are wearing parts and can be replaced several times over the course of a tool’s life time.
In addition to standard active elements, STEINEL also offers individual solutions tailored to your specifi cations. Upon request, you will receive all required active elements from a single source – from a single unit to mass production.
Properties
__ Starting materials for the STEINEL active elements are high-quality materials such as:
_ conventional tool steels
_ powder metallurgical steels
_ carbides
_ microblasted cutting edges upon request
_ PVD coatings upon request, such as:
_ AlCrN (aluminium chrome nitride)
_ TiN (titanium nitride)
_ TiCN (titanium carbonitride)
_ CrN (chrome nitride)
_ Futura TiAIN (titanium aluminium nitride)
_ Futura Nano TiAIN
Spring elements
System springs
STEINEL system springs are available in eight types of load, as well as various diameters and lengths. Types of load are
colour-marked so that they can be immediately told apart.
Technical features
alloyed valve spring steel
heat-treated
shot-blasted
set
powder-coated
Application up to 180°C
Forces up to 4500 daN over the maximum stroke
Spring elements
Elastomer springs
Elastomer springs made from rubber or plastic are distinguished by their high operational safety and long life times. The
preferred application fields are medium and industrial tool making, where they serve as cushioning for scrapers and wedge type gate valves, as well as supports for tool upper parts.
Elastomer springs must be guided with the aid of guide pins. These determine the position of the springs and prevent lateral
buckling. Elastomer springs can also be used as individual springs as well as stacked spring units. When stacking, guide pins and metallic discs are required.
Rubber springs
The material is high-quality chloroprene elastomer (CR) with
a hardness value of 70 ±3 Shore-A. It is distinguished by its
high level of elasticity and resistance to breakage, as well as its good resistance to oil.
Nitrogen systems
Overview
Nitrogen systems are heavy-duty and fl exible alternatives to mechanical spring elements. They provide optimal solutions for complex projects with various compressive forces and the same spring force. They are compact and require less installation space than mechanical spring elements. With nitrogen systems, the installation height of the tools can be reduced and the
force progressions optimised. Whether it concerns the selection and design of the nitrogen cylinders, combined solutions or individual manifold plates – with STEINEL nitrogen systems, you will always have technically and economically optimal tools.
