STAVAX Precision Tapered Core Pins for Medical Injection Molds
STAVAX Precision Tapered Core Pins are specialized mold components designed for high-precision medical injection molding applications. These tapered core pins are used to form small holes, thin internal channels, and precision cavities in plastic medical parts.
Manufactured from STAVAX (Uddeholm Stavax ESR stainless tool steel), these core pins provide excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and high temperatures during continuous injection molding cycles. The tapered geometry improves mold release performance and ensures high dimensional accuracy for delicate molded components.
Precision tapered core pins are widely used in molds producing medical consumables, laboratory plastics, and precision-structured plastic components, where dimensional stability and surface quality are critical.
