Self-Lubricating Wedge Blocks Cut Mold Downtime

In injection molds, slide movements rely on wedge blocks. Traditional steel wedges need frequent grease application. Grease attracts dust and degrades under heat, causing abrasive wear and unplanned press stops. This increases both maintenance time and operating costs.
The CCS15W inclined wedge active block provides a different approach. It is made of brass with built-in graphite inserts. The graphite acts as a solid lubricant. During each slide cycle, microscopic graphite particles transfer onto the mating surface, creating a low-friction film that lasts without re-application.
This design offers clear benefits:
-
No routine greasing – fewer press stops and longer maintenance intervals.
-
Cleaner cavity – graphite does not attract dust, reducing part defects.
-
Stable slide force – consistent friction over temperature changes ensures predictable movement.
Standard sizes are available (widths 50, 75, 100 mm; lengths up to 130 mm). The CCS15W fits most side-action applications, including automotive connectors, electronic housings, and medical device tooling.
Upgrade your slide guidance with CCS15W wedges. The initial cost pays back quickly through lower labor and higher machine utilization.
