Dayton Lamina 6-1228-86 Die Mold Solid Sleeve Hardened Steel

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 6-1228-86 is a die mold solid sleeve designed for use in die and mold assemblies requiring precise post-to-bushing alignment. This sleeve features a 1-7/8 inch inner diameter, a 2-1/2 inch outer diameter, and a 7 inch overall length, making it suited to applications where a 1-1/2 inch post diameter is in use. Constructed from hardened steel, the sleeve provides the wear resistance and dimensional stability that toolmakers and die maintenance technicians expect in production tooling environments. It is a direct fit Danly-style component intended for professional installation in press tooling and mold base assemblies.

This solid sleeve is used in die sets and mold bases where guided post alignment is critical to part quality and tool life. Typical applications include progressive dies, stamping dies, and injection mold bases in both job-shop and production environments. Toolmakers and die maintenance professionals install this component during new tool builds or as a replacement when existing sleeves show wear, scoring, or out-of-tolerance clearance. It is appropriate for both light and moderate-load tooling applications where a hardened steel sleeve is specified.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction for wear resistance and long service life in production tooling
• 1-7/8 inch inner diameter sized for standard die post fitment
• 2-1/2 inch outer diameter for secure housing retention
• 7 inch overall length suits deep die set and mold base configurations
• Solid sleeve design provides full-length bearing surface for post guidance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement solid sleeve for die and mold base assemblies specifying a 1-7/8 inch ID, 2-1/2 inch OD, 7 inch overall length hardened steel component.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a toolmaker or die maintenance technician using a hydraulic or arbor press to seat the sleeve into its housing bore. Power down and de-energize all associated equipment before beginning any die or mold disassembly. Verify bore and sleeve dimensions with calibrated gauges prior to pressing to avoid damage to the housing or sleeve. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and equipment manufacturer guidelines throughout the process.
