Allen-Bradley 0400534B Die Holder Plate With Pad

The 0400534B Die Holder Plate with Pad is a precision, bolt-on die retention and impact-absorption solution for metal stamping and forming systems, designed to securely hold dies while dampening impact forces during operation. It is an OEM-style part with a 4-3/8 in × 4-3/8 in (111 mm × 111 mm) plate that combines a machined steel plate with an integrated pad. The pad is described as elastomer or composite cushion material, selected by application, to provide vibration damping and load absorption while maintaining accurate die alignment. This part functions to retain dies under compression and impact loads and is intended for use with punch presses, stamping machines, and progressive die systems, as well as other metal forming equipment. Mounting is bolt-on or die-set mount, and the surface finish is precision machined for consistent seating and repeatable results. Commonly used in metal fabrication, automotive manufacturing, tool and die operations, and other industrial machinery environments where secure die retention and controlled impact are critical. Availability includes New, Used, and Surplus inventory, and common replacements include Dayton Die Holder Plate with Urethane Pad, Danly Die Retainer Plate Assembly, and PCS Company Die Holder Plate and Cushion Assembly.
