1. Advantages and disadvantages of ring gate.

A. Advantages.

+ To prevent weld line of product.

+ Resin fill in molding cavity easily and have good quality.

+

B. Disadvantages.

+ Gate cutting is difficult.

+ Mold making is more expensive.

+ We lose many resins for a runner and gate.

2. How to design ring gate?

2.1. Dimension of ring gate with circular cross-section.

D: Thickness of feed runner. D=(s + 1.5) mm ~  (4/3 s + k) mm

L: Length of ring gate, L= 0.1~1.5 mm.

s: Thickness of cylindrical or round parts.

H: Thickness of ring gate, H= 2s/3 ~ 2 mm.

r= 0.2*s.

k = 2 mm for short flow lengths and thick sections.
k = 4 mm for long flow lengths and thick sections.

2.2. Dimension of internal ring gate.

D: Thickness of feed runner, D= s+1.5 mm

s: Thickness of cylindrical or round parts.

Length of gate: 0.5~1.5 mm. Width of gate 1~2 mm.
