Dayton Lamina 6-04-3 Die Mold Solid Sleeve Steel

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 6-04-3 is a solid steel die mold sleeve designed for use in die sets, mold bases, and tooling plate assemblies. This component provides a hardened, precision-fitted bore to guide pins, punches, or dowels within a mold or die assembly, maintaining alignment and reducing wear on the surrounding material. It features a 0.5-inch inside diameter, a 0.8125-inch outside diameter, and an extra-long overall length of 3 inches. The extended length is suited for applications requiring deeper engagement or additional support along the guide axis. Installation is typically performed by toolmakers, mold technicians, or die maintenance personnel.

This sleeve is applied in metal stamping dies, injection mold bases, and precision tooling fixtures where dimensional accuracy and durability are critical. The extra-long classification accommodates thicker die plates or mold bases that require greater sleeve depth than standard-length components provide. It fits into bored or reamed holes in tool steel, aluminum, or composite mold plates.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch inside diameter for precise pin or punch guidance
• 0.8125-inch outside diameter for press-fit installation into tooling plate bores
• 3-inch overall length classified as extra long for deep-plate applications
• Solid steel construction for durability under repeated cycling loads
• Drop-in OEM-style form factor compatible with standard die set configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or original-fit sleeve for die sets and mold bases requiring a 0.5-inch ID solid sleeve with extra-long length classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified toolmakers or die technicians. The receiving bore should be finish-reamed or ground to the appropriate press-fit tolerance before sleeve installation. Press or arbor equipment is typically used to seat the sleeve without damage to the bore or sleeve wall. Inspect the bore for burrs or contamination before pressing in place.
