Dayton Lamina 16-96 Spring Cage 2in Od 12in Oal

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 16-96 is a steel spring cage designed to guide and retain die springs in press tooling and stamping die applications. With a 2 inch outside diameter and a 12 inch overall length, this cage provides consistent spring alignment and helps prevent buckling under load. It is a precision-machined component used in tool and die setups where spring stability and repeatability are critical. Tool and die makers and maintenance technicians working on stamping or forming equipment are the primary installers of this component.

This spring cage is suited for use in stamping dies, punching dies, and forming tooling where guided die springs are specified. It supports proper spring travel and lateral stability within the die set. Applications typically include progressive dies, compound dies, and similar metal forming assemblies used in both job shop and production manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 2 inch outside diameter for compatibility with standard guided spring assemblies
• 12 inch overall length provides extended spring support and anti-buckling guidance
• Steel construction offers durability under repeated press cycle loading
• Designed to retain and guide die springs for consistent tooling performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment component for guided die spring assemblies requiring a 2 inch OD spring cage with a 12 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers or maintenance technicians during die build or rebuild. Ensure the die set is fully de-energized and the press is locked out and tagged out before servicing any tooling components. Verify spring cage bore and OD dimensions match the die pocket and spring specifications before installation. Follow applicable shop safety and machine guarding standards during press tooling service.
