Dayton Lamina 5-0820-6 Demountable Friction Guide Post

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 5-0820-6 is a demountable friction-style guide post used in die sets and stamping tooling assemblies. It features a 1 inch outer diameter and an overall length of 6-3/16 inches, with a press fit length of 1-3/16 inches and a collar diameter of 1-5/16 inches. The post is manufactured from hardened steel with a hard chrome coating for wear resistance and extended service life. It ships with mounting clamps and screws included. This component is installed and serviced by tool and die makers, press operators, and precision fabrication technicians working with progressive or compound die assemblies.

This guide post is suited for use in metal stamping dies, punch press tooling, and precision die set applications where accurate and repeatable alignment is required. The demountable design allows the post to be removed and replaced without scrapping the die shoe, making it appropriate for maintenance and repair scenarios in production environments. The hard chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces friction during press cycling.

Key Features

• Demountable friction-type attachment allows post removal without die shoe replacement
• 1 inch outer diameter with 6-3/16 inch overall length for deep-reach die applications
• Hardened steel construction for high compressive strength under press loads
• Hard chrome coating reduces wear and provides corrosion resistance
• Includes mounting clamps and screws for complete installation
• 1-5/16 inch collar diameter provides positive seating and alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for demountable guide post die sets requiring a 1 inch diameter friction-style post with a 1-3/16 inch press fit length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified tool and die technicians. The die shoe and all press power must be fully de-energized and locked out before post removal or installation. Press fit length must be fully seated to the specified depth using a proper arbor press; never use impact tools to drive the post. Inspect the guide post bore in the die shoe for damage or wear prior to installation.
