Full title and description
DIN 16761:2008-06 — Press-, Spritzgieß- und Druckgießwerkzeuge — Führungssäulen (Tools for moulding — Guide pillars). This German national standard specifies dimensions, designations, materials and execution for guide pillars (guide posts) used together with guide bushes in compression, injection and pressure-diecasting moulds. Some commercial catalogues and distributors list the document as "STB DIN 16761 2008-06" when offering translations or national-adoption copies.
Abstract
DIN 16761:2008-06 provides standardized specifications for guide pillars (guide posts) used as locating and guiding elements in moulding tools (press, injection and pressure die-casting). It aligns pillar dimensions and usable guiding lengths with matching guide bushes (DIN 16716) and with plate thickness steps defined in related DIN documents, and replaces the earlier 1992 edition. The standard contains dimensional tables, tolerances, material and execution notes plus an informative annex.

- Number of pages: 8 pages.
Scope
Specifies dimensions, designation, material information, execution forms and tolerances for guide pillars used in press, injection and pressure‑diecasting moulds. The listed pillar dimensions and stepped lengths are coordinated with guide bushes according to DIN 16716 and with plate thickness steps from related DIN documents, so that pillar/bush combinations deliver consistent fit and guiding performance. The standard is intended for use where standardized guiding elements are required to ensure interchangeability and predictable function in mould assemblies.
Key topics and requirements
- Standardized dimensions and designation system for guide pillars (diameters, lengths, stepped portions).
- Tolerances and limit dimensions relevant to precise guiding and fit with guide bushes.
- Coordination of usable guiding length with DIN 16716 guide bushes and plate thickness standards (e.g., DIN 16760-1 references).
- Material and execution notes (basic material guidance and surface/finish considerations for durable guiding elements).
- Informative annex with explanatory notes and application guidance for toolmakers.
Typical use and users
Mould and tool designers, toolmakers, mould-component manufacturers, quality and production engineers in plastics injection, compression and pressure diecasting industries, and procurement/specification teams who require standardized guide pillars for interchangeability and maintenance of moulds. Machine shops producing guide posts and bushes use the standard as machining and inspection reference.
Related standards
Key related documents include DIN 16716 (guide bushes matched to these guide pillars), DIN 16760‑1 (plate thickness/step coordination referenced for stepped pillar lengths), DIN handbook entries that collect tool standards (e.g., DIN Handbook 262), and earlier or associated DINs for mould components such as DIN 9825 series (historical references). The 2008 edition replaces the 1992 version of DIN 16761.

Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers pillar diameters and lengths (including stepped portions), tolerances, usable guiding length, material/execution notes, and coordination with matching guide bushes (DIN 16716) and plate‑thickness steps from related DIN documents.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Tool designers, toolmakers, component manufacturers (guide pillars and bushes), maintenance and production engineers in moulding and diecasting operations, and procurement/specification teams.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The 2008-06 edition is the published edition that replaced the 1992 version; commercial catalogs list the 2008 edition as current.
