RC & RCM Series Slide Retainers - Precision Slide Holding Units

The RC and RCM slide retainers are essential mold components used to secure and guide the movement of slides in plastic injection molds.
Manufactured according to customer drawings or mold standard specifications, these slide holding devices ensure accurate positioning, reduce wear, and enhance stability during mold cycles. Designed for multi-cavity, high-cycle applications, they are ideal for packaging and medical industries.

• Manufactured to customer specifications or mold standard requirements (built-to-print)
• Precision design for secure and repeatable slide positioning
• Improves mold stability and reduces wear during high-cycle operations
• Available in high-strength materials for enhanced durability
• Compatible with multi-cavity injection molds and complex mold configurations
• Suitable for use in automated and continuous molding systems

The RC and RCM slide retainers are widely used in plastic injection molds for:

• Bottle caps and closures
• Packaging containers and functional plastic components
• Medical disposables and syringe-related parts
• Injection molds requiring stable slide guidance for undercuts or complex geometries

Typical customers include packaging manufacturers, cap and closure producers, medical consumable factories, and OEM injection mold manufacturers.

The RC and RCM slide retainers are installed within the mold structure to securely hold and guide slide movements.
Their primary function is to maintain precise positioning during mold opening and closing, ensuring smooth, reliable operation.
Key design considerations include slide fit, surface friction, wear resistance, and integration with multi-cavity mold layouts to ensure consistent performance over many cycles.

All slide retainers are manufactured using precision CNC machining processes and high-quality materials, ensuring the highest standards for mold components.

Manufacturing capabilities include:

• Precision CNC milling and turning for mold component shaping
• Tight tolerance control for accurate slide fitting
• Material selection and heat treatment for durability and wear resistance
• Precision grinding to ensure smooth, reliable sliding mechanisms

In-house quality control ensures dimensional accuracy and long-term reliability in each batch of products.
