b'Plain BearingComponentsREADY Plain Bearing Components3 types of pins, 2 types of bushingsPrecision Guide Pins (-825)Our Precision Guide Pins are designed to be used with eitherplain bearing or ball bearing bushings.Vacuum degassed, ball bearing quality steel is induction hard-ened to 60 - 64 Rc, then core tempered for toughness. Thisproduces an optimum combination of wear resistance for longoperating life and shock resistance for safety.Demountable Pins (-835)Our Demountable Pins are designed for use in either plainbearing or ball bearing applications. Like our precision press tpins, they are case hardened to 60 - 64 Rc, then core temperedfor toughness.They can be assembled to the same die set plate hundreds oftimes without distorting the hole center distances or damagingthe holes themselves. So they not only simplify die building andmaintenance, but they ensure maximum accuracy as well.Ready demountable pins can be held in place either with toeclamps and screws, or with a retainer plug. This second optionincreases the die space available.Double Diameter Pins (-55)Our double diameter pins are also designed for use with ball bearing as well asplain bearing bushings. They are case hardened to 60-64 Rc for wear resis-tance, then core tempered for toughness. A tapped hole is provided at the endof the pin for the ball cage assembly.The press t diameter is interchangeable with familiar brands of plain bearingand ball bearing pins, so Ready double diameter pins may be used for diemaintenance as well as for new tooling.Demountable Sintered Bronze Bushings (-235, -245, -285)Our Sintered Bronze Bushings set a new standard of performance for stampingdie guide bushings. A layer of bronze is sintered to the inside diameter of asteel bushing, creating a mechanical bond at the bronze/steel interface strongerthan that of traditional plated bushings. Please refer to the following page for details.Demountable Steel Bushings (-645)Our Steel Bushings are manufactured to the same high level of precision as ourSintered Bronze Bushings. If operated at moderate speeds and side loads withgood lubrication, they are an economic substitute for sintered bronze bushings.These two types of bushings are fully interchangeable.4'
