Final Design of
the Permanent Mold for the Brake Pedal

Top and Bottom Molds in Open Position |
Close-Up of Bottom Mold |
- The permanent mold was designed with an offset horizontal parting
line. The two mold sections were fabricated in H13 tool steel.
The mold includes a partial
core seated in the top and bottom mold sections to provide a center hole in the pivot
cylinder. The use of the partial core eliminates the rough machining step for the pivot
hole.
- The close-up photo on the right shows the
two movable steel plates, used to produce the pocket in the center of the bar and the
slots on the brake pedal.
