What are Superior Slide Locks?
Superior Slide Locks are spring-loaded mechanical detent devices designed to effectively prevent operational slipping of the slide in your mold base.
Slide-Lock components are compact and hold their rated weights without hydraulics or other complicated devices and can be used in multiples to achieve greater weight retention. The simplicity of the Slide-Lock design allows dependable, repetitive mold base slide motion and can help minimize production halts. At our online store you can buy Superior Slide Locks.
