Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
These metric straight regular punches are used in punch press tooling where consistent blanking and forming depend on stable punch-to-die contact. Their straight, regular geometry supports reliable alignment in precision die sets, helping maintain steady feeding and predictable material shearing.
In automotive connector and bracket blanking applications, the XN DayTride® coating is suited for reducing sliding-related wear during repeated strike cycles. This helps sustain tooling performance across production runs where minute changes in punch condition can affect part quality.
For electronics enclosure and sheet-metal component manufacture, the 50–100 mm length range allows designers to match punch stick-out to die thickness and holder design. The ability to size the punch length to the die stack supports repeatable processing and helps maintain uniform blanking across multiple cavities.
- Best for production blanking operations requiring punch durability and predictable fit in die tooling
Material & Process Details+
The provided specifications confirm this product series focuses on tooling performance via an XN DayTride® coating, which is intended to improve wear and sliding characteristics under punch press conditions. However, the input data does not specify the underlying steel grade or exact heat-treatment recipe (e.g., through-hardened, quenched & tempered, nitrided).
As a result, hardness (HRC), toughness, and wear-resistance values cannot be stated from the available parameters. For engineering selection, treat the coating as the primary differentiator in this series and confirm the base steel grade and hardness on the datasheet for your exact size and application severity.
- Heat treatment state: not provided in the input data
- Hardness (HRC): not provided
- Trade-off note: coating improves surface wear behavior; base-steel toughness and core hardness must be verified for impact-heavy blanking
Sizing & Selection Guide+
Select the punch length (L) to match your die stack-up and required stick-out. This series supports a fixed L range of 50–100 mm, which allows accommodation of varying die thicknesses, back-up tooling, and punch holder geometry.
Choose the P dimension to fit the functional interfacing zone in your tooling design. This series provides a fixed P dimension range of 3–16 mm; you should match P to the die opening clearance requirements and to the guiding features in the punch holder.
To ensure proper performance, verify that the punch is correctly supported for the selected length to reduce deflection during repeated strikes. Since the input data does not list tolerance values, use your die-assembly standard to set the final clearance/fit and confirm dimensional tolerances from the supplier documentation before production.
- Configurable vs fixed: L (50–100 mm) and P (3–16 mm) are fixed by the series ranges; verify the exact size you order
- Matching strategy: align L to die stack thickness; align P to holder/die interface geometry
Frequently Asked Questions
What size range of punch length is available for this metric straight regular punch series?+
This series offers a fixed L (Length) range of 50–100 mm. Use this to match the required stick-out for your die thickness and punch holder design.
Confirm the exact L for your tooling stack-up to reduce deflection during repeated punch press cycles.
How should I select the P dimension (3–16 mm) for my die and holder interface?+
The series provides a fixed P dimension range of 3–16 mm. Select the P value that matches your designed interface geometry in the punch holder and any guiding/bearing features.
If your process is clearance-sensitive, verify the final functional fit and dimensional tolerances in the specific order documentation.
Does the XN DayTride® coating change the way I should evaluate wear for long production blanking runs?+
Yes. The series is specified with XN DayTride® coating, which is intended to improve wear and sliding characteristics during punch press operation.
For tooling qualification, assess tool life based on the expected rubbing/sliding conditions at the punch-to-die interface, not only on base steel wear rates.
What base steel grade and hardness (HRC) are used in this punch series?+
The provided input data does not specify the underlying steel grade or the hardness (HRC) value.
To finalize material selection for impact and abrasion conditions, request the datasheet for the exact size and confirm the heat treatment state.
Is this punch series intended for multi-cavity die sets where repeatability matters?+
It is designed for punch press work that supports consistent blanking and forming in die tooling. The regular straight geometry is intended to support stable fit in precision die sets.
The available 50–100 mm length range also helps designers match the punch to varying die stack-ups to maintain repeatable processing across cavities.
