Full title and description

ISO 10242-3:2008 — Tools for pressing — Punch holder shanks — Part 3: Type D. This PDF edition contains the international standard that defines interchangeability dimensions, tolerances and related designation and material guidance for punch holder shanks of type D used in press tools.

Abstract

ISO 10242-3:2008 specifies the interchangeability dimensions and tolerances, in millimetres, of punch holder shanks Type D intended for use in press tools. The document also gives guidance on suitable materials and specifies hardness and designation requirements for these shanks. The standard is concise (short technical specification with tables and drawings) and is intended to ensure mechanical interchangeability between components from different suppliers.

Scope

This part of ISO 10242 covers the dimensional interchangeability requirements for punch holder shanks designated as Type D used in press tooling. It defines key external dimensions, tolerances in millimetres, recommended materials and required hardness/designation so that punch holder shanks from different manufacturers are mechanically compatible with press tool systems that adopt the Type D form. It does not cover complete press tooling design beyond the shank interface.

Key topics and requirements

• Interchangeability dimensions and tolerances for punch holder shanks (Type D) specified in millimetres.
• Guidance on suitable materials for shanks to meet mechanical and wear requirements.
• Specified hardness ranges and designation rules for shank identification.
• Dimensional drawings, tolerancing tables and notes on fit and assembly for press-tooling applications.
• Short normative content intended for manufacturers, toolmakers and quality control purposes.

Typical use and users

Primary users are tool and die designers, press manufacturers, component suppliers (punches and holders), maintenance engineers, procurement specialists specifying replacement parts, and quality engineers ensuring interchangeability. The standard is used when selecting or specifying punch holder shanks for press tooling to ensure mechanical compatibility and to reduce custom machining or fitting.

Related standards

ISO 10242 is a multi-part series; related parts include ISO 10242-1 and ISO 10242-2 (other shank types and related interchangeability rules). The series is maintained by ISO/TC 29/SC 8 (presses and forging equipment). National adoptions and identical publications by standards bodies (electronic and printed) typically reference the same content.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10242-3:2008 is Part 3 of the ISO 10242 series entitled "Tools for pressing — Punch holder shanks" and specifically covers Type D shanks used in press tools. It defines dimensions, tolerances and related requirements for interchangeability.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the dimensional interchangeability requirements (in millimetres), tolerances, recommended materials and hardness/designation for punch holder shanks Type D. It focuses on the shank interface and does not provide full press-tool design guidance.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tool and die makers, press manufacturers, parts suppliers, maintenance teams, quality and procurement professionals who need standardised shank dimensions and tolerances to ensure parts from different sources are interchangeable.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10242-3:2008 is the confirmed second edition (2008). According to ISO lifecycle records the 2008 edition has been reviewed and confirmed in subsequent systematic reviews, so the 2008 text remains the current published edition unless a later revision is issued by ISO. For purchasing or formal compliance checks consult the ISO catalogue or your national standards body for the latest confirmation or revision status.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10242 is a multi-part series covering punch holder shanks (different shank types are addressed in separate parts such as Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3). Part 3 addresses Type D specifically.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Punch holder shank, Type D, tools for pressing, interchangeability, tolerances, ISO 10242, press tooling, shank hardness, material guidance.
