Side Core Holder
The Side Core Holder is a structural die component that mounts, guides, and retains the side core (or slide) in a die casting die during the shot cycle. It must transmit the full injection pressure load from the side core to the die body without deflection, while maintaining precise alignment of the core pin or insert carried by the slide. Vyankatesh Engineering Side Core Holders are CNC machined from high-grade tool steel, ground on all critical surfaces, and inspected to ensure the geometric relationships between mounting, guide, and core-retaining features are maintained within tight tolerances.
