Guidance and retention — all-in-one
Trusted guidance and retention in an all-in-one assembly saves time and space in design, reduces material and overall pad size, and speeds up machining and die assembly.

Commonality and savings in design and build
Our original Guided Keepers were designed for short-travel stripper pads. We recognized an opportunity to guide and keep all-in-one assembly, which reduced labor in design/machining and sped up die assembly.
With the success and global adoption of our Guided Keepers, customers recognized their value in more than just short-travel stripper pads.
Our next design introduced longer and more cost-effective bore-located bushing styles. We also delivered new pin connection styles to increase robustness for high-demand applications.
We continue to gain valuable insights from our global customer base and now introduce our newest generation of Guided Keepers. Continued innovation includes a new bushing option (bronze plugged) for high demand applications, new guide pin series for greater robustness, and our new “N” style, which allows for increased bushing configurations to maximize bushing length in your application.
Ideal for designs without upper parallels or with limited guide pin travel space.
Designed for applications where upper parallels are not present or other constraints limit the amount of space available for the Guide Pin to travel.
We always recommend applying the longest bushing that will fit in the application. The P Style base should only be used when a longer bushing base style will not.
