Raymond Kickback Guide – RA1064350

Positioning and constraining the component it rides against, this Raymond kickback guide keeps that part tracking within its intended path instead of deflecting or kicking back under load. A guide like this establishes a hard reference surface, so the moving part it controls follows the same line every cycle rather than drifting out of position.

As a wear surface, the guide takes friction wherever it bears against the part it constrains, and over time that contact face wears down. A worn guide lets play develop in the assembly, which allows the controlled part to shift and defeats the alignment the guide is there to hold.

Match the guide to the assembly it was cataloged for, checking that its mounting points and working surfaces line up with the part it constrains, so it sets the correct path and bears against the component squarely.
