Balancing Lift Bars and Buttons
MUD® Balancing Lift Bars are designed with a slide-and-lock attachment for fast positioning at the balance points of insert molds and standard mold bases. These bars fit over inexpensive buttons mounted on the mold in place of eye bolts. This combination allows insert molds as well as standard mold bases to be easily lowered in and raised out of the molding machine. These bars are available in capacities to 5,140 pounds.
INSTALLING THE LIFTING BAR: Three holes (A, B and C) have been drilled and tapped in the lifting bar to accept an eye bolt (D). These holes allow positioning the eye bolt at either the center (B) or off-center (A or C) of the balancing lift bar. This position is based on the approximate weight of the mold. The final positioning of the lifting bar is determined by sliding the lifting bar over the mold’s lifting buttons until the exact balance point is established. A line is then scribed on the mold to identify this stop-point location. The A, B or C position for the eye bolt should also be noted.
