Some import tips might be ignored for slide gibs on mold design. But these tips are critical to ensure an injection mold with a long life.
1. Gib cavity depth “A” not less than 1/3H.
2. Gib height “B” not less than 2/3H, exceed the center of gravity because the slides usually lay horizontally when working.
3. Gib length “C” not less than 0.6H and 0.6L.
4. There are two rules related to Z:
-If Z wider than 6-1/2 inch, need to add one rail in the middle of the slide.
-If Z wider than 4-1/2 inch, need to design two cam pins.
All of these things we made just have one goal, to let the slide moves stably.
