V-Mold Clamp Design
BACK
Mini-Jector machines use a Mechanical Advantage to generate large clamping forces. A Mechanical Advantage occurs when a machine takes a small input force and creates a large output force.

Mechanical Advantage (MA) = S/T = 3.83

Clamping Force = MA * Applied Force = 3.83 * 6300 lbs = 12 Tons

The Mechanical Advantage (MA) generated by the "V" mold is calculated by the equation: MA = S/T

All Mini-Jector molds possess a MA = 3.83

Clamping force (C) is equal to the mechanical advantage (MA) times the effort force (E) generated by the pressure in the carriage cylinder:
C=MA*E

C = 3.83*6283 lbs = 24,063 lbs = 12 Tons
