Dayton Lamina 6-1214-822 Ball Bearing Cage 1.5in Id

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 6-1214-822 is a ball bearing cage designed for use in die sets and precision stamping applications where consistent guided motion is required. With a 1.5-inch inside diameter and a 3.5-inch outside diameter, this cage retains and spaces ball bearings along a guide post to maintain alignment between upper and lower die shoes. The ring thickness of 0.25 inches and a distance before preload of 1.8125 inches reflect a design intended for controlled, repeatable stroke performance. Licensed toolmakers and die maintenance technicians typically work with this component.

This ball bearing cage is suited for precision metal stamping and progressive die applications. It fits standard guide post assemblies where a 1.5-inch ID cage is specified. The cage positions ball bearings radially to reduce friction and maintain alignment during press cycles, making it a wear component that is replaced during routine die maintenance or after inspection reveals bearing play or cage deformation.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch inside diameter fits standard guide post sizing
• 3.5-inch outside diameter for correct die set housing fit
• 0.25-inch ring thickness for precise axial positioning
• Distance before preload of 1.8125 inches for controlled bearing engagement
• Designed for repeatable, low-friction guided motion in stamping dies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ball bearing cage for die sets requiring a 1.5-inch inside diameter guide post cage with a 3.5-inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians during die repair or rebuild. Ensure the press is fully de-energized and the die set is secured before removing or installing bearing cages. Inspect the guide post and die shoe bore for wear or scoring before fitting the replacement cage. Do not force the cage into position; proper sizing should allow controlled seating without deformation.
