Cone Bushes

Overview

Cone bushes (or cone sleeves) are precisely engineered insert components used in hot-chamber die-casting machines. They are designed to fit into tapered, conically-shaped sockets within the casting machine’s body. By guiding molten metal flow and ensuring a tight, aligned fit, cone bushes help optimize casting efficiency and protect machine components from wear.

Cone Bushes

Key Features

Tapered Design for Secure Fit
Cone bushes are crafted to match conical receptacles precisely, ensuring proper alignment between the metal riser and the casting channel. A retaining collar ensures stable positioning to prevent shifting during operation.
Optimized Flow Control
These bushes often feature channels drilled at an oblique angle (typically 40°–80°) to redirect molten metal flow smoothly. This improves fill consistency while preserving sufficient wall thickness for durability.
Wear Protection & Easy Replacement
Serving as sacrificial inserts, cone bushes protect more expensive machine housings from erosion and damage. They are straightforward to replace, simplifying maintenance and extending machine lifespan.
