This calculator will allow users to input the part projected area, number of cavities, runner projected area, and casting type. The output will be the estimated clamping force required for the injection molding process.
This is the surface area of the part to be cast, which is in contact with the die. It is measured in square inches or square centimeters.
This is the number of identical parts that will be produced in a single casting cycle.
This is the surface area of the runners (channels that guide molten metal into the cavities), which is also in contact with the die.
This is the type of casting to be used, which can be either standard or technical.
Please note that the pressure factors may vary based on specific process conditions and the alloy being used, so it's important to allow users to adjust these as well if needed.
Disclaimer: The calculated clamping force is an estimate. The actual clamping force required may be different due to other factors not considered in this calculation. It's always recommended to consult with a casting engineer or expert to confirm the required clamping force.
