Highest quality, fast delivery
From the raw material to the finished product, we rely on in-house production of our guiding elements. We manufacture them at our main site in Wolfurt, so all related processes from milling to grinding are well known to us. High-precision measuring machines are used during quality control in order to guarantee the best quality of our guiding elements. The components are picked in the shortest possible time and sent to you with our optimally networked logistic partners. That means that the shortest possible lead times are always guaranteed at Meusburger.
Which guiding element for which application?
Choosing the right mould guiding is crucial for the quality and service life of injection moulds. Proper guiding has a significant impact on cost-effectiveness throughout the entire life cycle of a mould, as it reduces maintenance costs and minimises downtimes. Therefore, it pays off in the long term to rely on high-quality products and to pay special attention to central factors such as durability, precision and high load-carrying capacity. But which guiding element is suitable for which application?
Limited installation space and maximum wear resistance
In many moulds, the guiding must withstand enormous loads, while the installation space is very limited.
Our solution: the high-performance flat guiding unit E 1080 features maximum load-carrying capacity in minimal installation spaces.
- Perfect precision thanks to positive taper locking
- Maximum wear resistance even in case of mould temperatures of up to 300 °C
- Ideal for 3-plate moulds when combined with the specially designed gliding plates E 1083
Thanks to its ideal width-depth ratio, the high-performance flat guiding unit E 1080 needs much less space, thereby creating additional room for the cavity. It is screwed in vertically, which eliminates the need for screw holes that may otherwise get in the way of water drillings. In the end, this results in a more compact but still maximally efficient mould design.
The positive and frictional taper locking ensures precise positioning that is free of play, even in case of minor manufacturing inaccuracies. The sophisticated guide relief area creates a large contact surface upon closing of the mould, which guarantees optimum distribution of the contact pressure. Maximum wear resistance can be achieved even under demanding conditions thanks to the large guide relief radii and the additional I-beam profile.

Guiding unit with final centring, vertical
Are you looking for a guiding unit with final centring that allows you to efficiently manufacture the installation spaces from the split line face?
Our solution: the flat guiding unit with final centring E 1315 takes care of both mould guiding and final centring – all with maximum precision . It can however also be used purely for guiding.
- Optimum sliding properties and wear resistance due to replaceable DLC-coated gliding plates
- Time savings through vertical machining from the split line face in one clamping operation
- If necessary, the guide clearance can be increased by simple machining of the flat guiding stock
Guiding unit with final centring, horizontal
You need a space-saving version of the flat guiding unit E 1315.
Our solution: thanks to its compact dimensions, the flat guiding unit with final centring E 1320 requires very little space in your mould.
- Optimum sliding properties and wear resistance due to DLC-coated gliding plates
- Optionally available with self-lubricating gliding plates with graphite inserts (E 1322)
- Flat guiding stock with central bores E 1324 specially designed for centred installation in stack moulds
Gliding plate for use with flat guiding stocks E 1323 and E 1324
Gliding plates may become wedged during installation, which prevents optimum functioning of the guiding.
Our solution: the flat guiding stock E 1323 or E 1324 in combination with E 13212 prevents exactly this problem.
- Precise installation in the cavity plate due to the lower-positioned groove
- Optimum guiding ratio through adjustment of the lengths to different cavity plate thicknesses
- Doubled service life through double-sided usability of the DLC-coated gliding plate
