Single-End Cartridge Heater (Single-End Heater / Cartridge Heater)
A single-end mold cartridge heater is a tubular electric heating element with wiring only at one end, mainly used for efficient heating in confined spaces or complex molds. It is widely applied in injection molding, fundición a presión, plastic molding and other industrial fields.
- Estructura central & Principio de funcionamiento
| Componente | Material & Función |
| Metal Sheath | SS304 (≤500℃), SS321 (≤600℃), SS310S (≤800℃), provides mechanical protection and heat conduction |
| Heating Element | NiCr alloy (2080) or FeCrAl alloy wire, generates Joule heat when energized |
| Insulation Filling | High-purity magnesium oxide powder (density ≥2.8g/cm³), aislamiento + high-efficiency heat transfer, compacted by tube reduction |
| Lead Wire | High-temperature resistant wire (silicone / Teflon), single-end outlet for easy wiring and fixing |
Principio de funcionamiento: Electric current passes through the resistance wire to generate heat, which is transferred through magnesium oxide powder to the metal sheath and then to the mold, achieving precise temperature control.
- Características clave & Ventajas
- tamaño pequeño, high power density: Power per unit area up to 2.5–50W/cm², ideal for rapid heating
- High thermal efficiency (≥90%): Concentrated heating, fast thermal response, steep temperature rise curve
- Fácil instalación: Single-end wiring design, insertable into mold holes, adaptable to complex structures
- High durability: Fully sealed structure, shockproof and corrosion-resistant, service life up to 5,000–10,000 hours
- Flexible customization: Customizable diameter, longitud, fuerza, shape (U-type / roscado / bridado)

- Selección & Power Calculation Guide
- Core Power Formula
- P = (M × cp × ΔT) / t + Qloss
METRO: Mold weight (kilos)
cp: Specific heat of steel (≈470 J/kg·K)
ΔT: Temperature difference (℃)
t: Heating time (s)
Qloss: Heat loss (≈10–30% of total power)
- Surface Load Reference
| Heating Medium | Recommended Surface Load | Notas |
| Dry heating in air | 0.5–1.5W/cm³ | Ensure sufficient heat dissipation |
| Liquid heating | 2–4W/cm³ | Flow rate affects heat dissipation |
| Metal molds | 5–15W/cm² | Higher when contact is excellent |
| Plastic molds | 1–3W/cm² | Avoid local overheating and deformation |
- Dimension Matching Rules
Fit between heater and mold hole: H7/g6 or H7/f7 for tight contact
Effective heating length must cover the heating zone; cold end extends outside for wiring
Reserve 0.1–0.2mm for thermal expansion to prevent jamming
- Instalación & Mantenimiento
Pasos de instalación
- Ensure verticality and smoothness of mold holes to avoid scratching the heater surface
- Clean holes and apply thermal grease / thermal adhesive to improve efficiency by 30–50%
- Insert gently, avoid heavy knocking
- Insulate wiring terminals properly, keep away from high-temperature areas
- Use with temperature controller, recommended fluctuation ±1℃
Mantenimiento & Reemplazo
- Operate only after cooling to room temperature to prevent burns
- Regularly clean carbon deposits / scale with fine sandpaper
- Inspect lead wire insulation, replace if damaged
- Replace heater if uneven heating or power drop occurs
VII. Common Issues & Soluciones
| Problem | Causa | Solución |
| Heater burnout | Excess power density / poor heat dissipation | Reduce surface load / improve heat transfer / increase cooling |
| Uneven heating | mal contacto / improper hole design | Reinstall with thermal grease / optimize hole layout |
| Electric leakage | MgO damp / daño al aislamiento | Replace heater / enhance sealing / evitar la humedad |
| Short service life | Frequent on/off / large temperature fluctuation | Optimize temperature control / use high-temperature materials |
