Dayton Lamina MS125-12 Friction Bushing 1.5in Oal Aluminum Bronze

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA MS125-12 is a straight friction die mold bushing manufactured from aluminum bronze, designed for use in die and mold guiding applications where precise alignment and reliable wear performance are required. It features a press-fit attachment method and self-lubricating construction, eliminating the need for external lubrication during operation. The bushing measures 1.5 inches overall length, 1.25 inches inside diameter, and 1.625 inches body diameter. Installation and replacement are handled by tool and die makers, mold builders, and precision machining professionals working in stamping, injection molding, and related metalworking operations.

This bushing is suited for straight-bore guiding applications in progressive dies, mold bases, and fixture assemblies. Its aluminum bronze construction provides a combination of load-bearing capacity and natural lubricity, making it a practical choice for high-cycle tooling environments where maintenance access is limited. The self-lubricating characteristic reduces downtime by extending service intervals between maintenance cycles. Single-piece packaging makes it easy to stock as a replacement or spare component.

Key Features

• Aluminum bronze construction provides inherent wear resistance and natural lubricity
• Self-lubricating design reduces maintenance requirements in high-cycle tooling
• Press-fit attachment method ensures secure, repeatable seating in die and mold plates
• Straight friction bushing type suited for precision guide pin alignment
• 1.25 inches inside diameter accommodates standard guide pin sizing
• Compact 1.5 inches overall length fits standard die set plate thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation friction bushing for standard die mold base assemblies requiring a press-fit straight bushing with a 1.25 inch bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers or mold builders using an arbor press or hydraulic press to achieve proper press-fit seating. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, within specified tolerance, and free of burrs before pressing the bushing into position. Do not drive the bushing with impact tools, as this can distort the bore or damage the seating surface. Verify alignment of the guide pin with the installed bushing before returning the tooling to service.
