M-2 Ejector Pins Line Introduced
Progressive Components says the new M-2 Ejector Pins are especially suited for high wear resistance with abrasive materials and high-heat applications.
Progressive Components, Wauconda, Illinois, has released its line of M-2 Ejector Pins, promising high wear resistance with abrasive materials, as well as tight tolerances held for sizing, roundness and straightness.
The new M-2 Ejector Pin expands Progressive’s line of ejector pin options and is manufactured from M-2 tungsten-molybdenum high-speed steel that’s hardened to 60-63HRC. The company notes that this material’s through-hardened core provides wear resistance against dishing when molding abrasive materials.
The company says the pins are well suited for accepting contours with high surface finish requirements and that the product can be used as either ejector pins or core pins. Suited for high-heat applications, Progressive’s M-2 Pins are available in straight and shoulder versions. Straight pin diameters range between 1/32 and 1/2", with lengths between 3 to 18". Shoulder Pin diameters range between 1/32 and 7/64", with 1/2, 2 or 3" shoulders and 6 or 10" lengths. Keyed, cut-to-length and custom options are also available.
