EJECTOR PLATE INSTALLATION
The sensor connector plate is mounted
on the mold. Pockets and a channel is
machined into the mold for the sensor
connector, cable, and sensor head. The
sensor head is placed under the ejector
pin in the ejector plate. The ejector pin is
retained in the ejector retainer plate and
reaches through to the B‑Plate or cavity
insert (refer to figure at right).

ANGLED EJECTOR PINS
Ejector pins that are located on angled
surfaces of a part can utilize sensors
depending on the angle of the pin. The
maximum pin angle that can be used with
sensors is 30° (

at right
). Beyond 30°,
force is lost to friction as the pin is pushed
sideways against the mold steel instead of
directly back onto the sensor, which in turn
can create errors in sensor readings. If
the angle is greater than 30°, contact RJG
customer support for assistance in verifying
suitability for use with an RJG sensor (refer
to “Customer Support” on page 54).
CONTOURED EJECTOR PINS
Ejector pins that are located on contoured
surfaces of a part can be used on either
concave and convex surfaces (

at
right
) provided the shape of the contour
is symmetric, as this cancels out any
sideways forces generated by cavity
pressure pushing on the pin.
Do not use an asymmetrically‑contoured
ejector pin if the net contour is greater
than a comparable pin with a 30° angle.
If a contour is unique or asymmetrical,
contact RJG customer support for
assistance in verifying suitability for use
with an RJG sensor (refer to “Customer
