Metalforming Solutions Overview Ball socket connections eliminate one of the largest maintenance costs of a stamping press: the wrist pin slide connections. This improved design withstands the rigors of heavy progressive die stamping by providing increased surface area to transmit high forces.

Ball & Socket Connection VS Wrist Pin Connection

Riding on a near zero-clearance oil film, the widely spaced ball socket joints have proven to require less maintenance in thousands of stamping presses, maintaining slide parallelism and die life with less downtime.

The ball connection assembly typically eliminates expensive and time consuming annual tear-downs and frequent replacement required of wrist pin connections.

Ball socket connections distribute forces evenly over a larger area to provide greater off-center loading and high blanking snap-through capability.

Wrist pin connections concentrate the force at two points accelerating wear.
