Dayton Lamina 6-1212-86 Die Mold Solid Sleeve

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 6-1212-86 is a die mold solid sleeve designed for use in die sets and mold bases requiring precise guided alignment. This hardened steel sleeve features a 1-7/8 inch inside diameter, a 2-1/2 inch outside diameter, and a 3 inch overall length, providing a robust bearing surface for guide posts in high-cycle tooling applications. The 1-1/2 inch post diameter compatibility makes it a direct fit for standard die set post configurations. Toolmakers, die setters, and mold maintenance technicians rely on solid sleeve components like this to maintain tight tolerances and extend the service life of precision tooling assemblies.

This sleeve is suited for press tooling, injection mold bases, and stamping die sets used in industrial manufacturing environments. It is typically installed in both new tooling builds and repair or replacement scenarios where worn or damaged guide sleeves need to be swapped out to restore dimensional accuracy. The hardened steel construction is appropriate for production environments with continuous cycling demands.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction for wear resistance in high-cycle die and mold applications
• 1-7/8 inch inside diameter for precise post fit
• 2-1/2 inch outside diameter for standard bore pocket installation
• 3 inch overall length provides adequate bearing surface depth
• Solid sleeve design eliminates the need for separate liner components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement solid sleeve for die sets and mold bases using a 1-1/2 inch guide post diameter with a 1-7/8 inch ID sleeve bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians during die set assembly or repair. The mating die set or mold base should be fully de-energized and the press or molding machine locked out and tagged out before sleeve removal or installation. Press-fit sleeves require proper arbor press equipment and alignment tooling to avoid galling or misalignment during seating. Confirm bore pocket dimensions match the outside diameter before pressing the sleeve into place.
