Spacer for interposition between a temperature-controlled plate and a pressure plate of a press

摘要

Temperature-controlled press plates are spaced apart from the pressure plates of a press by spacers which limit the heat flow from the temperature-controlled plate to the pressure plate and vice versa. The spacers comprise cupshaped members for a pin received in a bore of one of the plates, the recess of the cup accommodating an insulating layer which is compression resistant and carries a friction-reducing layer against which the surface of the other plate bears.
