Die Guide Components Overview

This document details specifications and options for die guide post components used in die sets.

Component Types and Materials

• BLB: Ball Guide Bushing, Locktite Type, made from SUJ2 steel with hardness HRC58 or higher.
• BSA: Aluminum Ball Slider made from A5052S aluminum alloy.
• BSJ: Resin Ball Slider made from POM (Polyacetal).
• BSAH: Highly Rigid Aluminum Ball Slider, also A5052S aluminum.
• BSJH: Highly Rigid Resin Ball Slider, POM material.

Dimensional Specifications

Key dimensions include post diameter (hD), lengths (L, L0), and tolerances. Post diameters range from 25 mm to 60 mm with corresponding lengths and tolerances:

• D1 tolerance ranges from 0 to +0.007 mm up to +0.010 mm depending on size.
• Dimensions D1 and D2 are specified for each catalog number, e.g., D1 for 32 mm post is 39.5 mm, D2 is 32.5 mm.

Catalog and Ordering Information

Catalog numbers correspond to specific sizes and types of components. For example, BSA 32 90 refers to a 32 mm diameter aluminum ball slider with 90 mm length.

Options include changing the standard ball slider to a highly rigid type (BSAH or BSJH), indicated by option code "-H".

Recommendations and Usage

• Use highly rigid ball sliders (BSAH, BSJH) for applications requiring enhanced rigidity.
• Ensure correct tolerance and dimension matching for proper fit and function.
