Technical Specifications of Relink Extrusion Tools

Relink extrusion tips, dies, and wire guides are precision-engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern wire and cable production. Below are the key technical parameters for our standard tooling range. Custom specifications are available upon request to match your specific conductor sizes, insulation types, and extrusion processes.

Available Tool Types

• Extrusion Tips (Wire Guides): Single or multi-wire guidance for tubing or pressure extrusion.

• Extrusion Dies: Controlling insulation or sheathing outer diameter.

• Diamond-Tipped Guides: For high-wear resistance in demanding applications.

• Carbide Inserts: Balanced durability and cost-effectiveness.

• Breaker Plates and Accessories: Supporting optimal material flow.

Size Ranges and Tolerances

Relink tools cover a wide range of conductor and cable diameters:

Parameter	Standard Range	Notes/Tolerances
Conductor Diameter	0.10 mm – 50 mm	Single or stranded wires
Insulation Diameter (OD)	Up to 100 mm	Depending on die configuration
Tip Hole Diameter	0.10 mm – 10 mm (diamond)	Polycrystalline or natural diamond
Die Hole Diameter	0.50 mm – 60 mm	Carbide or steel with inserts
Concentricity Tolerance	≤ 0.005 mm (0.0002 inches)	Guaranteed for uniform wall thickness
Surface Finish (Ra)	0.05 – 0.20 μm	Polished for smooth material flow

Dimensional Diagrams

For precise fitting in crossheads, Relink provides detailed drawings with key dimensions:

Material Options

• Diamond (Natural or PCD): Highest wear resistance, ideal for high-speed lines.

• Tungsten Carbide: Excellent durability for medium to high-volume production.

• Special Alloys (e.g., Hastelloy): For corrosive insulation materials.

Custom Capabilities

Relink specializes in bespoke tooling designs, including specific die angles, land lengths, and multi-layer configurations for co-extrusion.
