Compatibility with Nissei Injection Molding Machines
The 71mm Nissei barrel is engineered to fit several Nissei injection molding machine series, both legacy and modern. It is a standard component for machines equipped with 71A or 100A injection units. Here are the main series compatible with this barrel:
FN Series
Models such as FN220-71A, FN280-71A, FN280-100A, and FN5000-71A use this barrel size. These machines are widely used for various injection molding applications requiring mid-to-large tonnage.
FNX Series (Hybrid)
The FNX460 and other hybrid models that utilize 71A or 71E injection units also accept the 71mm barrel. These machines combine hydraulic and electric features for improved efficiency.
FS Series (Legacy Hydraulic)
Older models like FS260S71A and FS360S100A rely on this barrel size. Despite being legacy machines, they remain in operation in many facilities.
NEX Series (Electric)
Larger all-electric models, including the NEX280-71E, use the 71mm barrel. These machines offer precise control and energy efficiency.
Vertical & Specialty Series
Vertical machines such as ST, TH, and TNX series, along with some FV large-tonnage models configured with a 71mm bore, are compatible. This versatility makes the barrel suitable for specialty molding tasks.
Knowing your machine’s series and injection unit type ensures you select the correct barrel size for optimal performance.
Key Specifications of the 71mm Nissei Barrel
When ordering a 71mm Nissei barrel, certain specifications are critical to ensure proper fit and function. Suppliers like Complete Plastics and Telar Corp provide barrels meeting these standards:
Total Length
The barrel length is approximately 80.276 inches, designed to fit the injection unit assembly precisely.
Thread Pitch
The barrel features a trapezoidal thread with dimensions M44 x 3 LH (Left Hand). This threading ensures secure attachment to the injection unit.
Check Ring Outer Diameter (OD)
The check ring OD measures about 2.791 to 2.792 inches, matching the machine’s check ring seat for proper sealing and function.
These specifications guarantee the barrel integrates seamlessly with the injection molding machine, reducing downtime and maintenance issues.
Material Options for Different Applications
The 71mm Nissei barrel is available in various material grades to suit different molding conditions and wear requirements:
H-13 Steel
This is a general-purpose material offering good toughness and heat resistance. It suits most standard injection molding operations.
D-2 Steel
Known for its wear resistance, D-2 is ideal for applications involving abrasive materials or higher wear rates.
CPM 9V Steel
This premium grade offers superior wear resistance, especially for molding abrasive fillers or highly abrasive resins. CPM 9V extends barrel life significantly in demanding environments.
Choosing the right material depends on your molding process, resin type, and expected wear. For example, if you frequently mold glass-filled or mineral-filled resins, CPM 9V barrels provide longer service life and reduce replacement frequency.

Practical Tips for Maintaining Your 71mm Nissei Barrel
Proper maintenance extends the life of your barrel and improves molding quality. Consider these tips:
Regular Inspection
Check for wear, scoring, or corrosion on the barrel surface. Early detection prevents major damage.
Use Compatible Resins
Avoid resins that exceed the barrel’s wear tolerance unless you have a high-wear material like CPM 9V.
Maintain Injection Unit
Ensure the injection unit components, such as check rings and screws, are in good condition to avoid uneven wear on the barrel.
Clean Properly
Use recommended cleaning agents and procedures to avoid damaging the barrel surface.
Following these practices helps maintain consistent melt quality and reduces the risk of machine downtime.
