Superior Die Sets

Three typically used boss and heel block wear plate systems (U, L and V) are available from Superior. These approaches to die set construction allow the designer to build rigidity at any given point in the press stroke. The U system is generally used on front to back feed designs or narrow dies that require maximum stiffness. The unique opposing ‘U’ shaped bosses guide the die set in all directions. Ball bearing components (as shown here) or friction type can be used in any of our wear plate designs. The bushing is typically installed in the boss in either component systems.
