Used to locate and eject heavy duty metal stock in metal stamping dies.
Our fully integrated “off the shelf” Pilot Assemblies locate and eject metal stock. They’re designed and manufactured for robust and superior long-life production performance.
Superior performance maximizes uptime
Designed to last the life of your die using a long-life spring and ejection close to the pilot.
Global design commonality
Nominal sizes in both English and metric allow for one pilot style in all your global tooling.
Savings in design
All-in-one assembly speeds up design process and drops in your die fast.
We require Standard Lifters’ Pilots in all our dies built all over the world. They provide superior performance and commonality across all tooling and designs.
Using Standard Lifters’ Pilots, we rarely encounter parts wanting to stick and hang up on Pilots that are in the upper pads of the die. Surrounding your Pilots with built-in ejection was quite genius.

Stock Thickness in relationship to the Pilot Diameter is important for 2 main reasons.
| Pilot Dia. | Max. Stock Thickness | Pilot Dia. | Max. Stock Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| .3125” | .050” | 8mm | 1.27mm |
| .375” | .075” | 10mm | 1.9mm |
| .500” | .100” | 13mm | 2.5mm |
| .625” | .125” | 16mm | 3.2mm |
| .750” | .150” | 20mm | 3.8mm |
Clearance minimizes the forces subjected on the Pilot and tooling during a miss-hit situation. The hole below the pilot allows the material to extrude, rather than creating a “pinch trim” situation. See Receiving Hole Guidelines for detailed information on proper sizing.
