Specifics of Our Plunger Rod Design Process

Utilizing high quality materials and machining is essential for the successful production of a good plunger rod. All our plunger rods are manufactured from pre-hardened 4140/42 or 4150 pre-hardened alloy steel.  Creating a high-quality plunger rod can help to reduce per shot costs and extend shot sleeve life.

Other aspects of our plunger rod production include:

  • Lubrication – It is extremely important that adequate lubrication is present on the plunger rod. Lubricants are great insulators and help to form a thermal barrier, which protects the plunger tip for die casting machines from excess heat transfer.
  • Proper Alignment – Good alignment is critical to extending the life of the plunger tip and shot sleeve. A bent plunger rod is a common problem in alignment, as is plunger rod couplers and spacers. At Precision Tool Company, we take steps to build high quality plunger rods to avoid any type of alignment issues.
