1.6 Liabilities
The design guidelines are part of the contract and mandatory for the manufacturer. The injection mould must
meet the requirements of the mould specification (specification sheet). The design should be fundamentally
geared to a maintenance friendly mould. The authorized manufacturer is solely responsible for the data
conversion in the CAD system. He is responsible for possible conversion mistakes.

2 Mould design
The guidelines of the customer must be observed for the mould design. All drawings and dimensions must
meet these requirements. If no particular specifications are given then design according to DIN standards.
Fundamentally all drawings are performed with 3D CAD models and allowance for shrinkage is taken into
account.
3 Mould base
3.1 General information
Always use mould bases and standard parts from Meusburger.
You can quickly and easily create a mould base using the Meusburger Mould Base Wizard. Simply select the
desired plate size and the mould concept online. The finished mould base can then be immediately exported in
your CAD program.

Company specific entry Company specific entry Company specific entry
3.5.2 Clamping systems
Clamping with clamping claws
» It should be preferred to use clamping plates that allow mounting from the operator side and from
opposite of the operator side.
» Always ensure that the fixing on the machine is not hindered by the attachments.
Clamping with clamping screws
» If flush clamping plates are used, there should be a minimum distance between the screw heads and
the clamping screws. Influencing factors such as the hole pattern on the machine and the diameter of
the screw heads should be used to calculate these distances.
Clamping with a clamping system
» If a magnetic, mechanic, or hydraulic quick clamping system is available on the machine, the clamping
plates have to be machined accordingly.
3.5.3 Clamp plate versions
F 10 / F 15 F 20 / F 25 F 30 / F 35 F 40 / F 45
Please note – the designation of the mould size (for example: F

xx/126 126/…) always indicates the size of cavity plate. The
actual dimensions of the clamp plates (length, width, salient)
can vary from the dimensions of the designation.

3.6 Cavity plates
The cavity plates F 50 / F 55 / F 53 are all made of quality steel that has been heat treated for stress relief. This
results in the ideal conditions for an economic and mould and machine friendly further subsequent machining.
3.6.1 Lever slots
All cavity plates from guiding diameter d1=20/26 are equipped with 2 to 6 lever slots. Easy removal is possible
through these lever slots.
Split line Reverse side

easy disassembly of mould plates.

3.7 Backing plates
Meusburger F 60 can be used as a backing plate. It is used, for example, to support the mould plate, as a core
holding plate or for a hot runner.
3.8 Risers
The F 70 risers enable the movement of the ejector set. From the mould size 196 / 196 on, wide risers (F+P)
are available to reduce sagging. From guiding diameter 30 mm a fastening thread is installed in the center.

E 1516

3.12 Insulation boards
Heat protection plates must be used to ensure a constant and uniform mould temperature. Depending on the
closing force, two different compressive strengths can be selected.
The strength parallelism is as follows:
- for dimensions < 600 x 1200 mm (b x l) 0.02 mm
- for dimensions > 600 x 1200 mm (b x l) 0.05 mm.

3.13 Guiding pillars and bushes

3.14 Marking
Markings are put on the mould, so they are easily readable from the operator side.
Ideally suited for uniform and clean marking of moulds are customisable labels E 191xx (see 13.6).
Mould plates are always provided with a material marking and plate numbering as well as the size of the
mould base.
Further there are markings for 'TOP' or 'BOTTOM' to indicate the required mounting position.
Cooling connections:
The cooling circuits are marked with ‘IN’ or ‘OUT’ and the corresponding circuit number.
Use Meusburger E 3020 or E 2030 S.
All attachments must be marked with a mould number (transport and mould protection, ejector rods, location
rings, etc.)
Markings can be brought in with hand stamps for material marking V 28880 or engraving pen GDGR 1000.
V 28880 GDGR 1000

4 Centring elements
4.1 Pillar guides with centring
» The cavity plates must be positioned on top of each other by the guide pillar and the guide bush. An
E 1000, E 1002 DLC, E 1010, E 10102 DLC or E 1020 can be used as a guide pillar. Alternatively, self
lubricating guiding bushes could be used here.
» The backing plate must be aligned with a centring bush (E 1160) through the riser on the clamp plate.
» The right length is to be selected for all components. Here the Mould Base Wizard in the Meusburger
digital catalogue can help.
Additional centring elements are required for very precise, high-temperature, and at risk of warping moulds.
4.2 Positioning elements
4.2.1 Flat guiding unit
» Flat guiding units should be used to support the guide pillars and to simplify the centring of large and
very precise moulds. (E 1315 oder E 1320)
» Due to heat expansion, four guides should be attached to the mould, centred on the side or diagonal on
the mould.
» The guides must not interfere with the removal of parts. This means that the flat guiding rail should be
mounted in such a way that picker or robot arms, including their components, are not disturbed.
» In an adjusted state, the guide clearance should not exceed a few hundredths per side.
» Oil grooves on the guiding surfaces are required for flat guiding units without self lubrication.
E 1315
The Meusburger E 1320 flat guiding unit already includes an oil groove. Compatible with E 1321 gliding
plate and E 13212 (double-sided use) gliding plate. For self-lubricating guiding plates please use the
E 1322.
E 1321 E 13212 E 1322
E 1320

4.2.2 Top lock
» Must be used for components with high precision.

» Depending on space requirements top locks (E 1304) for vertical installation or side locks (E 1308) for
horizontal installation can be used. The pocket for E 1304 can be milled in the same clamping with the
machining for the cavity.

E 13076
Round versions with conical (E 1310) or flat (E 1352) centring can also be installed.
E 1311
E 1352
E 1310

4.3 Locationg rings
The mould must be provided with a locating ring on the fixed half, as well as the moving half.
The locating ring diameter defines the mould specification. A chamfer must be provided on the locating ring.
Location rings are to be provided with 2 holes and 2 screws so they can be screwed to the mould.
(E 1362 - E 1382)

5 Sprues
5.1 Sprue bushes
The size of the sprue bush must be chosen so the required mass flow rate for the injection mould is guaranteed
and fits to the used production machine. The surface volume ratio should be as small as possible with regard to
the heat loss. The nozzle radius must be smaller than the sprue bush radius. A filling simulation is
recommended for the sprue bush design.
Only PSG hot E 1600 runner variants are agreed E 1620 on with the customer, use only
when required.
Sprue adjusters
E 1625
In order to avoid machine downtimes, sprue adjusters should be installed. In case of
damage, cavities can easily be "blinded" and production can still continue.

5.3 Sprue retainer
The sprue retainers are available in standard version (E 1660), long version (E 1662), or without undercut for
introducing a customised undercut (E 1663), as well as in a long version without undercut (E 1664).
E 1660 E 1663
E 1662 E 1664

6 Demoulding
6.1 Ejector set
In order to eject the plastic part from the cavity after the injection moulding process, it requires an ejection
movement. This is realized by the ejector package or a stripping plate.
E 1064 Guiding unit for FW 90 ejector set
For the precise guiding of the ejector set at high forces.
E 1804 Ejector set coupling
The simple manual and fast operation enables a minimization of machine down time through very short
changeover times.

6.2 3-plate moulds
The following components can be used according to the table to control tools with 3 plates. Please pay

6.3 Two-stage ejectors
If demoulding processes with 2 ejector strokes are to be controlled independently of each other, this is realized
with two-stage ejectors. Depending on the ejection process, three different variants are used. After the first
stroke, the two-stage ejector is locked, only then does the second stroke take place.
No. Description Motion sequence
E 1860 Leading type
E 1865 Single stroke

6.4 Gear unit for stack moulds
With the help of stack moulds the production is more efficient since twice as many moulded parts are produced
(simultaneously in two stacks), when compared to a classic mould with just one split line face. This means
double output of parts by twice as many cavities which has the positive effect of lower costs per piece.
6.5 Demoulding aids
For the demoulding of the moulded parts, there are further components with which, for example, additional
strokes of individual ejectors or entire plates can be realised. Ventilation valves can also be very helpful during
the demoulding process.

7.3 Wear plate
If shear forces occur through the geometry of the component wear plates can be used to absorb them. If
possible, the wear plates should be uniformly distributed and easily installable in the mould. The length of the
wear plates should not exceed 200 mm.
Installation from the front side with hole and counterbore for fastening screws (E 3030, E 3036).
Installation from the back side by means of a thread in the wear plate (E 3031, E 3032, E 3034).
E 3026 E 3027
7.4 Ejector for inclined ejection unit and flexible ejection unit
If for structural reasons the demoulding of an undercut must be provided in the mould by means of an ejector
for inclined ejection unit or a flexible ejection unit, this can be easily implemented using the E 3200, E 3202,
E 3220, E 3240 or E 3248.

E 3252

8 Ejector system
8.1 Ejector pins
The selection of ejector pins should be based on the component geometry and
application. If a form cut is required at the end of the ejector it must have an anti-
rotation protection (E 1702 or E 1712). If the aperture for a blade ejector becomes
eroded, a blade ejector with 2 angle radii (E 1727) or a blade ejector with 4 angle radii
(E 1728) may be used. The DLC coated ejector can be used without any lubrication or
with just minimal lubrication. When possible always provide compulsory ejector
retraction in the design, this should be flush on a flat surface.
8.2 Selection of ejector pins

9 Temperature regulation
The temperature regulation must be designed so an optimal temperature distribution is guaranteed in the mould
and the product. When possible, connectors are installed flush. The couplers must correspond with the
company's internal system. Slides, cores, and other critical areas must be tempered separately. The cooling
circuits are labelled with IN 1, IN 2, OUT 1, OUT 2. (E 2030)

11 Hydraulic cylinders
The double-acting hydraulic cylinders are especially designed and adapted for mould making.
Areas of application:
» Movements of slides and core pullers

» Control of the ejection sliding unit
» Movement of movable cavity plates
The hardened, ground piston rod offers optimal protection against

damage.
Avoid shear forces otherwise the slides and core pullers must be
positively locked.
The double seal piston rod with additional rod wiper ensures a clean
operation.
When coupling the piston rod a coupling pin must be used for misalignment compensation.
End positions should be checked by means of sensors.

12 Electrical components
12.1 Sensors
Should be provided in the mould to protect the mould against damage.

Generally, sensors should be attached to all moving parts as stop position indicators. This is required for core
pullers, slides, or mobile inserts. The position of the ejector set can also be monitored through sensors.
12.1.1 Limit switches
Depending on the installation option, limit switches with vertical or horizontal installation positions can be used
with a male or female connector. Depending on the version, release occurs through contact or mechanical
release or by passing a magnetic field.
Mechanical limit switches E 650x
Inductive limit switches E 6502

13 Attachments
13.1 Means of transport
Transport and mounting threads are used for all heavy parts and assemblies.
Transport lock
Each mould must be equipped with a transport lock, which prevents

the accidental opening of the mould during transport. This transport
lock must have an eye bolt for connection to transport hooks.
Please note the following:
» The weight of the mould is to be calculated and the thread for

fixing the eye bolt must be designed accordingly.
» A thread must be provided in every mould half so that the
transport lock can effectively prevent the mould halves from
opening.
» The eye bolt must be attached over the mould's centre of
gravity.
» Specially manufactured transport locks need to be marked by colour and be labelled with the mould
number.

Transport bar E 1930
A fully adapted component which includes an eye bolt and fastening screws for the easy and safe transport of
moulds. The bracket must be mounted so that the fixed half and the moving half stay together during transport.
The adjustable eye bolt can be positioned and fixed over the mould's centre of gravity. Due to the increased
distance between the eye bolt to the mould, the risk of damage from the protruding parts is reduced.

If the weight of the mould requires a higher load-carrying capacity, the load can be doubled through the use of
safety eye bolts (E 1272 / E 1274).
13.3 Support bolts and spacer
In the case of salient clamp plates or protruding attachments, support bolts and spacers must be mounted on
the under- or upperside of the moulds (fixed half and moving half). These prevent damage to the protruding
attachments and protect against dirt and corrosion.
E 1928 Support bold E 1927 Spacer

13.4 Transport lock E 1936
To secure the mould halves. Can be operated without tools.
13.5 Cycle counter
Not resettable machanical cycle counters for effective

monitoring of quantities and maintenance intervals.
Two designs. Round (E 2484 / E 2485), rectangular (E 2480) and rectangular for high temperature applications
up to 160°C (E 24805).
13.6 Labels
For identifying the moulds you can use the customisable labels from Meusburger. These are made of
aluminium or robust polyamide. They are also ideal for the graphic representation of cooling circuits and for
cavity assignment.
Only available for online orders.

13.7 Ejector set coupling
100% protection against unwanted movement of the ejector set during handling and servicing (E 1940).
Automatic locking and unlocking

14 Springs
Use System compression springs, elastomer springs or gas springs.

15 Parts list
The following parts list contains the main components of a mould base according to the Meusburger Mould
Base Wizard. The parts list must still be supplemented with all other individual parts (Ejectors, fasteners, locks,
sprues, demoulding, temperature regulation components, inserts, slide system, attachments, electrical
components, etc.). These simply can be added to the parts list by double clicking on the price in the catalogue.
The parts list can then be exported to various programs.
