MOLD INTERLOCKS Tapered Interlocks (Rectangular)

DME Standard Rectangular Tapered Interlocks provide positive, metal-to-metal alignment between mold or die halves, between plates or between individual cavities and cores. These Tapered Interlocks will maintain proper alignment while permitting thermal expansion between the mold or die halves. Mating sets are mounted in-line and/or perpendicular to one another (never parallel). DME Rectangular Tapered Interlocks are made of shock- resisting S-7 tool steel, and are hardened and ground to precision tolerances, which permit interchangeability.

Installation Guidelines Each mounting pocket must be accurately aligned with the pocket for the mating interlock in the other half of the mold or die. The width of each pocket serves as a precision keyway to maintain the steadfast position of each interlock. Each pocket must be flat and parallel to the parting line. The mating interlocks should be fitted with a slight preload to ensure metal-to- metal engagement. The pocket lengths should be long enough to provide clearance.
