Dayton Lamina 16-40 Spring Cage 5 in Oal 2 in Od

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 16-40 is a steel spring cage designed to retain and guide die springs in stamping and press tooling applications. The cage provides a protective enclosure that keeps the spring aligned during compression cycles, reducing lateral deflection and extending spring service life. Built from steel, this component offers the durability required for repeated cycling under load. With an overall length of 5 inches and an outside diameter of 2 inches, it fits standard die set configurations used by tool and die makers, press operators, and maintenance technicians working on stamping equipment.

This spring cage is suited for use in industrial die sets found in metal stamping, forming, and fabrication operations. It is typically installed in conjunction with a compression die spring within a tooling plate or die shoe. The 5-inch overall length accommodates springs commonly used in medium-duty press tooling, and the 2-inch outside diameter seats securely in standard bored pockets machined into die components.

Key Features

• Overall length of 5 inches accommodates medium-duty die spring assemblies
• Outside diameter of 2 inches fits standard tooling plate bored pockets
• Steel construction for durability under repeated compression cycling
• Guides spring laterally to reduce deflection and wear
• Sold individually for precise replacement or new tooling builds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for standard die spring cage applications in metal stamping and press tooling where a 2-inch outside diameter, 5-inch overall length steel cage is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool and die makers or press maintenance technicians. Ensure the die set is fully de-energized and the press is locked out and tagged out before disassembling any tooling components. Verify the bored pocket diameter in the tooling plate matches the 2-inch outside diameter of the cage before seating. Inspect the mating die spring for wear or set before reassembly.
