Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cage forming mold technology, and more specifically, it relates to a ball bearing cage forming mold that facilitates demolding. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of rolling bearing manufacturing, the cage, as one of the core components, plays a crucial role in separating and guiding the movement of rolling elements at equal intervals. Its manufacturing precision and performance directly determine the overall service life and operational stability of the bearing. The stamping technology of ball bearing cages, relying on high-precision mold design and manufacturing processes, has become a core means to achieve large-scale, high-efficiency production.
[0003] Traditional stamping dies generally adopt a structural design where the upper die moves in one direction and the lower die remains stationary. Since the upper and lower dies can only achieve mold closing and opening through the vertical reciprocating motion of the upper die, and lack a reverse coordinated motion mechanism, the upper die must complete the displacement of the entire stroke to complete a complete stamping cycle. This undoubtedly has an adverse effect on stamping efficiency, resulting in a reduction in stamping efficiency. Utility Model Content
