Plane plate of a pressing tool

The use of a plane plate in a pressing tool of a press for producing a green compact;

• wherein the plane plate for activating a punch of the press by way of at least one lifting cylinder is displaceable along an axial direction;
• wherein the plane plate has a link to the at least one lifting cylinder, at least one at least partially cylindrical guiding face which for contacting a guide column is parallel with the axial direction, and a centrally disposed receptacle for contacting the punch or a punch holder of the press;
• wherein the plane plate at least in a first cross section which between the receptacle and the guiding face runs parallel with the axial direction and along a radial direction that runs so as to be perpendicular to the axial direction has at least a first region in which a wall thickness of the plane plate is continuously variable.
