Metric Close Space Straight Punches XAN DayTAN™ Coating
Close space straight punches for metric tooling (XAN DayTAN™ coating) are built for punch guidance and reliable output where die space is limited. Designed by DAYTON, they support consistent forming and efficient tool life in production runs.
- Close space straight punch geometry supports precise punch alignment in tight die areas
- XAN DayTAN™ coated surface helps reduce wear during repeated blanking or forming
- Available head styles include angled head AWX and regular head AXX for application fit
- Metric punch lengths support 40–100 mm setups for varied press and die configurations

Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
Close-space straight punches are used in precision blanking and forming operations where the press tooling has limited die-to-punch spacing. In automotive and general industrial component production, they help maintain punch guidance and repeatable part geometry even when the tool layout restricts clearance.
- Automotive connector and bracket blanking: The close-space straight geometry supports stable alignment, helping reduce off-axis loading and wear in tight die areas.
- Appliance and housings forming: The XAN DayTAN™ coated working surface is suited for repeated cycles, improving wear resistance during forming and trimming-like operations.
- Metric tooling in compact progressions: Choose the angled head (AWX) when the tool stack or carrier design benefits from a head geometry, or the regular head (AXX) for standard vertical access.
Length availability for 40–100 mm allows engineers to match guidance needs while keeping overall die spacing compact.
Material & Process Details+
The provided data specifies performance via the XAN DayTAN™ coating, intended to increase punch surface wear resistance under repeated blanking/forming conditions. While the exact steel grade and heat treatment state (e.g., nitriding, quench & temper) are not listed in the specifications supplied, this variant is engineered as a guided close-space punch where surface durability is critical.
- XAN DayTAN™ coating: Focuses on wear reduction for high-cycle production; typically improves tool life by limiting abrasive/scuffing wear at the punch’s working surface.
- Coating vs. base steel: The coating is the primary differentiator here; without a specified substrate grade, hardness/retained HRC and toughness trade-offs cannot be stated from the provided parameters.
- Head styles (AWX vs AXX): Geometrical selection affects load direction and access, while wear performance is expected to be driven by the coating.
If you need a specific base steel grade or target hardness, request the grade/heat-treatment certificate for series 250301353890.
Sizing & Selection Guide+
Select this close-space straight punch by matching the overall length and the active diameter/critical dimension P to your die cavity/core and guidance requirements.
- Length (L): Fixed range is 40–100 mm. Choose the length that provides sufficient guidance engagement while keeping the tooling stack within the available die spacing.
- Dimension P: Fixed range is 0.8–7 mm. P must align with the required functional diameter/feature for the piercing or forming profile; verify with your drawing and die layout.
- Head style selection: Use AWX (angled head) when the tooling access or load alignment favors an angled head configuration; use AXX (regular head) for standard straight access.
For fit and alignment, confirm that the close-space geometry still allows the required clearance in your die pocket and that the punch seating/guide interfaces meet your tolerances. If your design uses tight die space, prioritize matching L to avoid under-guiding or excessive over-protrusion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which head style should I choose for a tight die space: AWX (angled) or AXX (regular)?+
AWX is the angled head variant, while AXX is the regular head variant for standard access. Select AWX when your tool stack or carrier geometry benefits from an angled head arrangement; choose AXX for conventional vertical guidance. Both are metric close-space straight punches intended for limited die spacing.
What length options are available for series 250301353890 close-space straight punches?+
The fixed L (Length) range is 40–100 mm. Use this to match the required guidance length for your die/core engagement. Confirm that your selected length maintains the intended close die-to-punch spacing without interfering with the tooling stack.
How do I match the punch to my die design if my drawing specifies dimension P?+
This series specifies P (mm) = 0.8–7 as the available range. You should match P to the functional diameter/feature required for the piercing or forming geometry. If your die drawing uses a specific P value, select the punch variant whose P falls within that range and validate clearance in the die pocket.
Does the XAN DayTAN™ coating improve wear resistance in high-cycle blanking?+
Yes—this product variant is explicitly described as using the XAN DayTAN™ coating to provide stable punch wear resistance during repeated blanking or forming cycles. For tight die spacing applications, the coating helps limit working-surface wear so alignment and output consistency can be maintained longer.
What material grade or hardness (HRC) is used for this punch series?+
The supplied specification data does not list the underlying steel grade, heat treatment (e.g., nitrided vs. quenched & tempered), or hardness in HRC. However, it does identify the XAN DayTAN™ coating as the key performance differentiator. To confirm hardness and heat-treatment state, request the grade/processing details for series code 250301353890.
