Dayton Lamina 6-1020-86 Die Mold Solid Sleeve 1.625in Id

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 6-1020-86 is a hardened steel die mold solid sleeve designed for use in die and mold assemblies where precise guiding and alignment of post components is required. With an inside diameter of 1.625 inches, an outside diameter of 2.125 inches, and an overall length of 5 inches, this sleeve provides a tight, consistent fit over a 1.25-inch post diameter. The hardened steel construction resists wear under the repetitive loading cycles typical of stamping and molding operations, maintaining dimensional accuracy over extended service life.

This solid sleeve is intended for installation in die sets and mold bases used in metal stamping, plastic injection molding, and similar tooling applications. It fits into a bored pocket in the die plate and guides the post through its stroke, keeping the mold or die halves in proper alignment. Toolmakers and die maintenance technicians handle installation and replacement during mold builds or scheduled tooling maintenance.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction for wear resistance under high-cycle loading
• 1.625-inch inside diameter sized for a 1.25-inch post diameter
• 2.125-inch outside diameter for press-fit installation into die plate bores
• 5-inch overall length provides extended guiding surface for accurate post alignment
• Solid sleeve design eliminates the complexity of ball-bearing or bronze bushing alternatives where a simple, rigid guide is preferred

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for die sets and mold bases requiring a solid sleeve with a 1.625-inch inside diameter and 2.125-inch outside diameter guiding configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a toolmaker or die maintenance technician using a hydraulic or arbor press to seat the sleeve into the bored pocket of the die plate. Verify bore diameter and surface finish before pressing to avoid galling or damage to the sleeve. Ensure the die set is fully de-energized and the press ram is blocked before performing any tooling maintenance or sleeve replacement.
