Paramount Die expands into tube mandrels and plugs for complete tube drawing solutions

In tube drawing, mandrels and plugs or pins are critical components used to control the internal dimensions of the tube during reduction. They support the inner diameter (ID) and ensure dimensional accuracy and a high-quality inner surface finish.

Paramount Die, a global leader in wire and tube drawing technology, expands its product portfolio with the launch of precision-engineered tube plugs and mandrels. Designed to complement the company’s renowned drawing dies, these components provide a complete solution for manufacturers seeking maximum control, performance, and efficiency in tube drawing operations.

Precision engineering for superior dimensional control

Every Paramount Die tube mandrel is machined to exacting tolerances to ensure perfect inner diameter (ID) control and repeatable results. The plugs are compatible with floating, fixed, or shell mandrel systems, enabling seamless integration into a wide range of tube drawing setups. Optical inspection systems and state-of-the-art machinery guarantee dimensional consistency within ±0.0002” (±0.005 mm).

The premium carbide base material, combined with optional coatings, ensures resistance to wear, heat, and deformation—critical factors in maintaining tight tolerances and achieving superior surface finishes (Ra ≈ 0.05–0.2 μm).

Custom designs for every process requirement

Paramount Die customizes mandrels and plugs to match each customer’s process. Geometry, coating type, and surface finish are optimized for high-speed production, thin-wall tubes, or specialty alloys. Smooth radii transitions reduce friction and stress, extending tool life and improving surface quality.

Integrated solutions for optimized performance

By sourcing tube plugs, mandrels, and drawing dies from one supplier, manufacturers benefit from complete compatibility and stable performance. With in-house design, machining, and raw material stock, Paramount Die ensures short lead times and responsive support to keep production moving efficiently.
