Additional Information

Additional Information

 N/A Our Ball Cages use AFBMA Grade 10 precision ball bearings, accurate to within 0.0001". These ball bearing have been chosen for their high hardness and excellent resistance to wear and deformation. They are retained securely in place by a hardened aluminum alloy cage, heat treated for toughness and wear resistance.

Each ball bearing is held in place with 360º staking. This is a safer design than two or four point staking. Failure tests show that a 360º staked ball requires a substantially higher force to become dislodged.

Ready’s Ball Bearing Guide Pins Are Truly Interchangeable

Ready Ball Cages are free to rotate within the ball bushing assembly, so wear on the guide pin and bushing is reduced. The ball bearings are arranged in a double spiral pattern, so that each ball bearing travels along its own unique path. Tracking is reduced and operating life is enhanced.

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.

Operating Conditions

Operating Conditions

 N/A For optimum performance guide pins should be mounted in the punch holder. This allows the ball cage to reposition itself, if preload is relieved on each press stroke. Complete assemblies (guide pin, ball cage and bushing) should be ordered to insure proper fit.

Recommended Lubrication

Recommended Lubrication

 N/A We recommend lubricating the ball bushing assembly once each 8 hour shift. Use a refined mineral oil with a viscosity of 290/340 SSU at 100º F, combining "EP" additives and rust inhibitors, such as Mobil Compound AA or Mobil Gear 626.

Installation Instructions for Sleeve Bushings Using Bushing Mount

Installation Instructions for Sleeve Bushings Using Bushing Mount

 N/A
  1. Degrease bushing OD and die shoe bore with alcohol, acetone or other volatile solvent and wipe dry.
  2. Apply Bushing Mount sparingly to both surfaces.
  3. Wring bushing into die shoe.
  4. Allow 4-hour cure at 72ºF. To accelerate cure, heat with heat-lamp. Do not disturb bushing until cure is complete.
  5. Honing is not required after installation.
