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 stainless 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 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.
Advantages N/A Our patented Stainless Steel Bushings offer many advantages over plated stainless steel bushings.
  • Thicker stainless steel: The Stainless Steel 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. Stainless Steel is porous stainless steel, up to 40% porosity.
  • Stronger Bond: Our patented process forms a unique fusion bond so the stainless steel and substrate become one. See the 1000x magnification in the adjacent panel.
  • Wear Resistance: The combination of 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.
Stainless Steel plating is not a simple process. If the bushing is dirty or there are contaminants in the plating solution, the stainless steel will not adhere properly and will peel away from the surface. The fourth batch of bushings, for example, will be less likely to be defect-free than the first batch placed in a tank with fresh plating solution.

The second problem with plating is that the thickness of the stainless steel layer depends on the plating time. A thick stainless steel layer is simply too costly to produce, and on large diameter bushings in particular, problems arise when the thin plating wears away and the underlying stainless steel comes in contact with the guide pin.

Ready's Stainless Steel Bushings solve both problems. Using a patented manufacturing process, a layer of stainless steel is to the inside diameter of the stainless steel bushing, creating a strong, reliable mechanical bond. The thickness of the stainless steel layer is not limited by time or cost constraints, so it is thicker than plated stainless steel, and it increases proportionally with the bushing diameter.

You can test the bond strengths yourself. Cut through the diameter of a plated bushing and you stand a good chance to see peeling. If you need to shorten the inserted diameter to fit our bushing into a thin stripper plate, you can do so without harming it.

There is a third advantage to our bushings. Because stainless steel is porous, it holds the lubrication oil in place and helps to maintain an unbroken lubrication layer, which improves wear resistance. The stainless steel pores act as small oil reservoirs, so our Stainless Steel Bushings are more forgiving if maintenance has been overlooked. However, for best results, we recommend regular, periodic lubrication with a high viscosity oil.
