FAQ
Q: How often should bending pins be replaced?
A: For equipment with daily heavy-duty use, replacement every 3 to 6 months is recommended. Replace the parts immediately once you find obvious wear or inaccurate bending angles.
Q: Are 45# steel pins suitable for bending high-tensile rebar?
A: For Grade 60 and higher-strength rebar, please choose 40Cr or Cr12MoV pins to avoid cracking and deformation.
Q: Can you customize special sizes for old imported machines?
A: Yes. We can process all non-standard sizes according to your physical samples or technical drawings.
Q: What is the difference between h6 and h7 tolerance?
A: H7 tolerance is applicable to most standard bending work. H6 tolerance is used for high-precision installation scenarios that require ultra-tight fitting.
Q: What problems occur if spare parts lack proper heat treatment?
A: Parts without standard heat treatment wear out very fast on construction sites. Low-hardness bending pins easily bend, dent or snap under heavy load. This leads to machine jams, incorrect bending angles and failed project inspections.
All ALAS spare parts adopt vacuum quenching, reaching HRC 50–62 hardness. This effectively prevents edge chipping and unexpected machine downtime.
Q: Which steel is suitable for high-frequency hydraulic bar bender pins?
A: For heavy, frequent use in factory precast work and large bridge projects, Cr12MoV steel (SKD-11 / 1.2601) is the ideal option.
Daily construction: 45# steel and 40Cr steel work well and cost less for regular jobs
Heavy-duty work: Cr12MoV steel contains chromium and molybdenum, offering much better wear resistance
Core benefit: Vacuum-hardened Cr12MoV pins resist scratches under constant heavy pressure. They reduce replacement frequency and cut long-term operating costs
