Collapsible Core

Oct 27,2025

What it is:   
A multi-segmented or collapsible core pin that retracts after molding, allowing ejection of deep cavities or internal undercuts.  

Typical applications:   
Internal threaded caps, bottles, containers with deep cavities, electronic housings with complex inner geometry.  

What it solves:   
Enables demolding of internal undercuts without additional slides or complex mechanisms, reducing mold complexity and cycle time.

Common materials:   
Hardened alloy steel, surface treated with nitriding or plating for wear resistance; can be mechanical segmented or hydraulic/pneumatic driven.

Common issues & maintenance:   
Sticking (due to dirt or water scale), segment wear, seal/spring fatigue; requires regular cleaning and inspection of sealing and retraction mechanism.

Selection tips:   
Consider internal geometry (thread depth, diameter), production cycles (high-output lines need higher wear grade), and maintenance acceptance.
