Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
These straight regular punches are used in precision punch press tooling where consistent punching force and stable alignment are critical. The straight profile makes setup straightforward in standard die sets, reducing the risk of misalignment across repeated production cycles.
- Precision stamping die sets (inch): Match the punch length L (150–625 in) to your press/tool stackup to support reliable punch-through in inch-based forming layouts.
- High-abrasion, wear-sensitive operations: The XNT DayTiN® coating is selected to improve abrasion resistance during frequent stroke cycles, helping maintain edge performance and dimensional stability over time.
- Production tools requiring consistent output: Use the P dimension (0.125–0.375 in) variant to tune fit with the die cavity interface for repeatable stamping results.
This variant is suited for environments that prioritize tool life and consistent part geometry under continuous punch-through demands.
Material & Process Details+
The provided configuration specifies XNT DayTiN® coating for wear resistance, while the underlying steel grade and heat-treatment state are not included in the provided data. In practical mold/punch tooling, DayTiN-type coatings are typically used to raise surface hardness and abrasion performance, improving punch endurance under repeated metal-cutting contact.
- Coating function: XNT DayTiN® helps resist abrasive wear and maintain punch performance across high-cycle stamping.
- Hardness & wear vs. toughness trade-off: Coatings primarily enhance surface wear resistance; however, toughness is mainly governed by the base steel and its heat treatment, which must be confirmed for your application requirements.
- Heat treatment: No pre-hardening, quench & tempering, or nitriding details are available in the supplied specifications—request the material certificate if you require HRC verification.
If you have multiple steel/heat-treatment options for this series, the correct choice should balance required edge wear life (coating + surface hardness) with impact/toughness for your press loads.
Sizing & Selection Guide+
Correct sizing for these straight regular punches centers on matching the fixed length L (150–625 in) and P dimension (0.125–0.375 in) to your die set and punch holder/interface requirements.
- Select L first: Choose a length within 150–625 in that aligns with your press working height and tooling stackup so the punch engages the workpiece reliably without bottoming or excessive protrusion.
- Select P to match the interface: Use P = 0.125–0.375 in to fit the die/punch working region where contact geometry is critical for stable punching and repeatable results.
- Tolerance & fit considerations: While no tolerance values are provided here, engineers should confirm fit classes for the punch-to-die alignment features in their design. Any clearance requirements should be validated against your existing die block and guide components.
- Fixed vs. configurable: L and P are specified as fixed ranges for this series; dimensional variants are selected by choosing the appropriate L and P combination.
Verify that the selected L does not conflict with punch holder travel limits and that the chosen P dimension supports correct seating at the die interface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which dimensions are fixed for Dayton straight regular punches in this series?+
For series 250301145743, the specification lists L (Length) = 150–625 in and P dimension = 0.125–0.375 in as the fixed selectable dimensional parameters. These ranges define the straight punch variants available for this product line.
How does the XNT DayTiN® coating affect punch wear and tooling life?+
The XNT DayTiN® coating is designed to improve abrasion resistance during repeated punch-through cycles. For stamping applications, this can help maintain punch performance for longer periods by reducing surface wear at the working edge/contact area.
What should I check to ensure the punch L length will work with my die set stackup?+
When selecting L within 150–625 in, confirm the press working height and tooling stackup so the punch engages properly without bottoming out. Also verify punch holder travel limits to prevent excessive protrusion that could affect alignment and part geometry.
How do I choose the correct P dimension for stable punching results?+
Select P from 0.125–0.375 in based on the interface geometry where the punch meets or aligns with the die region. Because no tolerance data is provided, you should validate the fit against your existing die components and alignment features to ensure repeatable contact and output consistency.
Is the base steel grade and hardness (HRC) available for this punch series?+
The provided specifications confirm the XNT DayTiN® coating but do not list the base steel grade, quench & tempering condition, or HRC. If you need hardness verification for design calculations or tooling qualification, request the material/heat-treatment documentation for series 250301145743.
