Overview
ISO 11900-3:2004 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the design requirements for ball-lock punch retainers, specifically the Type E reduced retainer for heavy duty pressing applications. This standard defines the precise dimensions, tolerances, material guidelines, and hardness requirements for these specialized tools, which play a crucial role in retaining ball-lock punches when punching holes in steel sheets. The standard supports consistent quality, interchangeability, and performance for ball-lock punch retainers used in heavy-duty metalworking.
Key Topics
Scope and Purpose: ISO 11900-3:2004 focuses on reduced ball-lock punch retainers Type E, designed for heavy-duty use. Its main application is in conjunction with ISO 10071-2 ball-lock punches for punching steel sheets.
Dimensions and Tolerances: The standard provides detailed dimensional requirements in millimeters, including hole sizes, lengths, and other geometric parameters with strict tolerances (typically ±0.25 mm general tolerance, with some individual dimensions specified more tightly).
Material and Hardness: While the material choice is at the manufacturer’s discretion, the hardness specification is clearly defined, requiring a hardness of (55 ± 5) HRC for both ball-lock punch retainers and backing plugs, ensuring durability under heavy loads.
Designation System: The standard outlines a clear designation format to identify ball-lock retainers unambiguously by type, reference to ISO 11900-3, and diameter (e.g., Ball-lock retainer ISO 11900-3-E-10).
Supporting Standards: It references related ISO standards for complementary components such as ISO 10071-2 for ball-lock punches, ISO 273 for clearance holes, ISO 3290:2001 for bearing balls, and ISO 4762 for screws, ensuring interoperability within tooling assemblies.
Applications
ISO 11900-3:2004 ball-lock punch retainers Type E are essential components in heavy-duty metal pressing and punching operations where precision hole punching in steel sheets is required. Their applications include:
Sheet Metal Fabrication: Retainers ensure secure locking of ball-lock punches during repetitive industrial punching in automotive, aerospace, and construction steel components.
Heavy-duty Press Tools: Providing reliable retention under high stress, these retainers contribute to the longevity and safety of large press machines handling thick or hardened steel sheets.
Tooling Standardization: By adhering to this standard, tool manufacturers and metalworking facilities improve tool compatibility, reduce downtime, and streamline tooling maintenance through standardized punches and retainers.
Related Standards
ISO 11900-1 & ISO 11900-2: Cover ball-lock punch retainers Types A, B (rectangular and square for light duty) and Types C, D (reduced for light duty), respectively. These parts complement ISO 11900-3 by addressing different retainer designs and usage intensities.
ISO 10071-2: Defines ball-lock punches for heavy duty applications, for which the ISO 11900-3 retainers provide secure retention.
ISO 273: Specifies clearance holes for bolts and screws, relevant for mounting ball-lock punch retainers.
ISO 3290-1: Details dimensions and tolerances of rolling bearing balls used as locking elements in ball-lock punch assemblies.
ISO 4762: Covers hexagon socket head cap screws employed in securing retainers and backing plugs.
ISO 8735: Standardizes parallel pins used for precise locating in tooling assemblies.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
