Holds the die with the most precise concentricity
A stainless steel body that does not corrode, hardened bearers and strong, even adhesion of the flexible die throughout the job.
If the cylinder isn’t concentric, no die can fix it. That is why we take care over the tolerances, the hardening of the bearers and the magnetic force.
Hardened to 60 HRC so they withstand continuous work without losing dimension.
Corrosion-resistant stainless steel, or aluminium and hollow construction when weight needs to be saved.
Positioning pins can be fitted so the plate doesn’t move, and more powerful neodymium magnets for special jobs.
Between one magnet and the next there is a steel band that doesn’t hold. Narrowing it leaves more magnetic surface on the same cylinder, and you can tell by how firmly the plate is held.
Both surfaces in the photo are at the same magnification.

Standard construction
Both hold the die; what changes is the available magnetic surface and the price.
The cylinder repeat is the number of teeth multiplied by the module.
Repeat (mm) = z × m
Label work uses 1/8 inch teeth, that is 3.175 mm. So all you need to do is count the teeth.
Maintenance and redesign of cylinders in service to recover their performance, instead of replacing them. And adaptation to special jobs and small diameters.
It is possible because the cylinder is modular, not a single piece: the bearers and the shaft are not permanently integrated, so they can be inspected, ground and replaced over the life of the cylinder.
Tell us the number of teeth or the repeat of your job, and the press it will be mounted on. We will confirm dimensions, body material and lead time. Every cylinder is manufactured to an approved drawing.
