Low Pressure
Permanent Mold

The low pressure
(LP) feed permanent mold is the best choice of molding method for the
brake pedal
The LP permanent mold can provide the surface finish and dimensional tolerances needed
for the brake pedal.
The fast cycle times in casting in permanent steel molds can support the production rate
needed for the brake pedal.
The durability of the steel mold will insure that the surface finish and dimensional
tolerances are maintained across the multi-year production run.
The low pressure fill of the permanent mold will give a more rapid and uniform fill of
the mold and provides good surface finish and casting soundness.
LP molds use simpler gating systems and do not need risers to feed solidification
shrinkage. This reduces the metal costs and eliminates a trimming/grinding operation.
