SDS.V Series Vacuum Cylindrical Pellet Die Sets — 6, 13, 25 & 50 mm
Across International’s SDS.V Series vacuum dry pressing die sets are designed to produce cylindrical pellets from powder samples under vacuum using a compatible pellet press and an external vacuum source. Available in 6, 13, 25 and 50 mm pellet diameters, the series accommodates different sample sizes and pressing loads.
Each model combines hardened steel tooling with a vacuum connection and sealing components, allowing evacuation of the die assembly during sample preparation. The tooling features a stated Rockwell hardness of HRC 62 and dimensional tolerance of 0.01–0.02 mm (10–20 μm).
Every set includes core tooling, a sleeve, a support plate or base, a push rod and a pellet ejector. The SDS6.V additionally includes a transparent protection shield, while the SDS50.V includes a detachable push rod handle and an aluminum carrying case.
