Abstract
A hot-runner injection molding apparatus that facilitates use of electric actuators in a compact design includes a hot-runner manifold defining resin channels for conveying resin to nozzles that serve as conduits for introducing liquid resin into a mold cavity, a valve pin configured for linear movement along a longitudinal axis of the nozzle to control flow of liquid resin through the nozzle, and an electric actuator having a body containing an electric motor, wherein the electric actuator body includes channels for circulating a coolant.
