Manufacturer Part# / Cross Reference Search

Please use this search function to find READY die set components that are equivalent to commonly used pins, bushing, ISO Springs, and Gas Springs from other manufacturers.

Please Note: We believe this cross reference to be accurate. Please review the specifications to ensure the item will work in your application. Gas Spring equivalents were based on body dimensions, on contact force and stroke length.

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.

Additional Information

 N/A We offer the full range, inch & metric.
  • Our Plain Bearing line offers you three types of guide pins (straight, demountable and double diameter) and two kinds of bushings (demountable steel and our unique, patented Sintered Bronze Bushing.) All of these components are color-coded for Selective Fit™ and are fully interchangeable with one another.
  • Our Ball Bearing line employs the same three guide pins plus two styles of ball bushings (straight sleeve and demountable). Unlike our competitors, our design is interchangeable with all major ball bearing brands on the market. Finally, you have at your disposal a "one size fits all" ball bearing line.
  • We manufacture and stock the world's largest inventory of Danly style metric guiding. Why? Because in North America we are READY Technology, outside North America we are Danly International (Make no mistake: Neither Ready Technology or Danly International or any of the Danly companies outside North America is affiliated in any way with Danly Die Set or Connell Limited Partnership), and we manufacture and sell Danly die sets and guiding through our ten plants and offices in Europe and in the Far East. Now we're making our extensive line of metric components available to our U.S. customers.

Plain and Ball Bearing Components

Plain and Ball Bearing Components

 N/A You will see a number of innovative ideas designed to increase the performance of your stamping tools, reduce your inventory costs, simplify die assembly and maintenance, and maximize available die space.

Here are some of the highlights:
  • Each Ready pin serves a dual function - it can operate as a plain bearing pin or a ball bearing guide pillar. This saves you the cost of a dual inventory.
  • Ready's Selective Fit™ system matches each pin to the correct bushing to achieve the proper fit. Each part is color-coded (white, blue, or yellow), so as long as the color spot on the pin matches that of the bushing, the running clearance in each pin/ bushing pair in your tool will be identical. Since the clearance grows in proportion with the pin diameter, Selective Fit™ automatically gives you the proper running fit for your application.
  • You now have a choice of clamping methods with our demountable pins. You can secure the flange with traditional toe clamps and screws, or you can hold the pin in place with a stop washer mounted in the underside of the die shoe. By eliminating the toe clamps you gain extra die space.
  • Another innovation which saves space is Ready's patented Ring System. In effect you can now use our ball bearing sleeve bushing like a demountable bushing. Since the sleeve bushing and Ring System clamps have a smaller footprint than a traditional demountable bushing you save on die space.
