Guided Retainer
Minimal downtime is crucial to the metal stamping industry, precision and strength are more important than ever.

Compact Design
Occupy less space in the die than traditional pin, bushing, and spool pad retainer combinations. Guide and retain the pressure pad or stripper plate in progressive stamping dies or use on lifter rails. Machining is only necessary on one side of the pad, reducing tool cost and the potential for additional setup errors.

Better Handling of Side Loads
Improved design allows for superior loads and strength at the pad. The hardened load plates provide greater strength at the pad, meaning no need to check for loose screws and no broken screws falling into the tool. This design is complemented by versatile mounting styles, for design flexibility and additional room in the die working area.

The Lamina Advantage
Greater Shear Load capabilities from axial loads and side loads due to pin engagement in pad and hardened steel load plates. We do not rely on socket head cap screws to absorb the loads in the pad.
Optional Mounting of Bushing on either side of plate for additional clearance, solving design issues
Now available in five diameter sizes:
1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, and 2.00 Inch
Local US Manufacturing for fast turnaround times
Tight Assembly Tolerances
Superior guiding, with the same guide pin and bushing clearance as traditional pins and bushings which gives greater positional accuracy
