Dayton Lamina 6-1220-86 Die Mold Solid Sleeve

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 6-1220-86 is a hardened steel die mold solid sleeve designed for use in precision tooling and die set applications. This sleeve provides accurate bore guidance and alignment for post-and-bushing assemblies in stamping, forming, and molding operations. It measures 1-7/8 inches inside diameter, 2-1/2 inches outside diameter, and 5 inches overall length, with a compatible post diameter of 1-1/2 inches. Hardened steel construction delivers resistance to wear and deformation under the repetitive loading typical of production die work. Toolmakers, die setters, and press room technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This solid sleeve is suited for installation in die sets used across metal stamping, progressive die, and mold base assemblies in both jobshop and production manufacturing environments. It is a direct-fit Danly-pattern component, following standard die component dimensions that are common in North American tooling shops. It is typically pressed or driven into a die shoe or mold base plate where precise post alignment is required during each press cycle.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction for wear resistance under repeated press-cycle loading
• 1-7/8 inch inside diameter for close-tolerance post guidance
• 2-1/2 inch outside diameter for secure interference fit in the die shoe bore
• 5 inch overall length provides extended guiding surface for post alignment
• Solid sleeve design eliminates the need for lubrication components in the sleeve body
• Danly-pattern dimensions for compatibility with standard die set configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement solid sleeve for standard Danly-pattern die sets requiring a 1-7/8 inch ID, 2-1/2 inch OD, and 5 inch overall length hardened steel guide sleeve.

Installation Notes

Installation of this sleeve is typically performed by a qualified toolmaker or die setter in a controlled shop environment. The sleeve is press-fit into the die shoe bore and should be installed using an appropriate arbor press and alignment fixture to prevent cocking or galling. Verify bore diameter and finish before installation to ensure proper interference fit. Always de-energize and lock out the press before performing any die service work.
