Lamina Guided Retainers are precision guide pin & bushing/retainer assemblies that occupy much less space in the die than traditional pin and retainer combinations.

Guide and retain the pad or stripper plate in progressive stamping dies, or use on stock rails and stock dies with a lifter plate. Lamina Guided Retainers reduce machining cost and save space within your die.
