Abstract
This invention relates to a valve gated single cavity injection molding system wherein the valve pin actuating mechanism is cooled by circulating hydraulic fluid through it. The cylinder is mounted in a cylinder housing inside a dome portion of a heated manifold housing. The cylinder housing has a wing portion extending out openings in each side of the manifold housing. Each wing portion has an inlet duct and an outlet duct for hydraulic fluid across which a pressure differential is applied. The ducts connect to circumferential channels which extend around the outside of the cylinder and lead to respective openings into the cylinder. Thus, the application of hydraulic fluid pressure during operation circulates hydraulic fluid through the actuating mechanism. The cooling which results extends the operating life of the mechanism, particularly the seals and O-rings.
