Taper: The difference in diameter of top and bottom of a part. It gives slanting wall to the part. It is measured in terms of length.
Draft: The degree of taper of a side wall or the angle of clearance designed to facilitate removal of parts from a mold. It is measured in terms of angle.
Significance:
· Taper or draft is almost required to assure easy removal of the part from the mold because the material will tend to shrink on the core of the mold and also the sticking can take place on both corer and cavity of the mold.
Design criteria:
· A minimum draft of 1/20 and a maximum of 30 (if possible) on both the surface of the part is usually recommended.
· If the knockout pins are provided in the cavity section of the mold then the part should stick to the cavity and not to the core (plunger) hence the cavity is designed with no draft, the draft is only provided on the core.
· If the knockout pins are provided in the core section of the mold then the part should stick to the core and not to the cavity hence the core is designed with no draft, the draft is only provided on the cavity walls.
· Pick up ribs are also sometimes molded on the part to assure that the part will stay in the cavity or on the plunger.
· The desired surface can also be liquid honed to increase sticking.
The Fibrillated Polypropylene Yarn is a fantastic product that offers excellent durability and versatility for a wide range of applications. This yarn has a fibrillated structure, which enhances its strength and makes it ideal for weaving, rope making, and industrial use. The quality is impressive, as it holds up well under heavy loads and provides great resistance to abrasion and wear. Its lightweight yet tough nature makes it easy to work with, and it maintains its performance over time. I highly recommend this polypropylene yarn to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality material that truly stands up to the task!
