Our patented Sintered Bronze Bushings offer many advantages over plated bronze bushings.

• Thicker Bronze: The sintered bronze in our bushings is substantially thicker than the plating technology it replaces
• Porous Surface: Holds the lubrication oil where you need it most, to resist wear. Sintered bronze is porous bronze, up to 40% porosity
• Stronger Bond: Our patented process forms a unique fusion bond so the bronze and substrate become one. See the 1000x magnification below
• Wear Resistance: The combination of the increased thickness, porosity and stronger bonding means our bushing is your best choice for high speed and eccentric loading. The longest life possible under extreme conditions

Our steel bushings are manufactured to the same high level of precision as our Sintered Bronze bushings. These demountable bushings are available in three profiles: standard, short and extra long shoulder to give optimum flexibility in die set design. All bushings are equipped with figure 8 oil grooves and lubrication fittings. If operated at moderate speeds and safe side loads with good lubrication, they are an economical substitute for plated or sintered bronze bushings. All demountable steel bushings include toe clamps and mounting hardware.

Our Precision Guide Pins are designed to be used with either plain bearing or ball bearing bushings.

Vacuum degassed, ball bearing quality steel is induction hardened to 60 - 64 Rc, then core tempered for toughness. This produces an optimum combination of wear resistance for long operating life and shock resistance for safety.

Our double diameter pins are also designed for use with ball bearing as well as plain bearing bushings. They are case hardened to 60-64 Rc for wear resistance, then core tempered for toughness. A tapped hole is provided at the end of the pin for the ball cage assembly.

The press fit diameter is interchangeable with familiar brands of plain bearing and ball bearing pins, so Ready double diameter pins may be used for die maintenance as well as for new tooling.

Our Demountable Pins are designed for use in either plain bearing or ball bearing applications. Like our precision press fit pins, they are case hardened to 60 - 64 Rc, then core tempered for toughness.

They can be assembled to the same die set plate hundreds of times without distorting the hole center distances or damaging the holes themselves. So they not only simplify die building and maintenance, but they ensure maximum accuracy as well.

Ready demountable pins can be held in place either with toe clamps and screws, or with a retainer plug. This second option increases the die space available.
