Pad 0801017 is a guiding, support and stabilization component for the Feed finger tube group of Gildemeister DMG Mori GM20AC multi spindle lathes, used in the bar feeding kinematic chain to keep the drawtube correctly aligned during axial sliding. Mounted laterally on the bearing, the pad works as a guiding and reaction element, absorbing part of the vibration generated by the reciprocating movement of the drawtube and the rotation of the bar, while helping to maintain the stable position of the group during pushing phases towards the bar stop. Its function is particularly important because drawtube 1501351 receives motion from the cam drive and transmits it to the bar pusher collet; if alignment is not correct, irregular friction, lateral play, localized wear and variations in feeding precision can occur. Pad 0801017 therefore operates together with locknut 0201202, which stabilizes the 6206 RS bearing, and locknut 0201203, which holds the bar guide bushing in position, creating a complete guiding system able to control vibration, misalignment and minor dynamic irregularities. In terms of application field, this spare part is relevant for preventive maintenance, extraordinary maintenance, automotive production departments, precision engineering and specialized workshops working on multi spindle automatic lathes, where stroke repeatability and bar feeding continuity directly affect productivity and part quality. During technical checks it is advisable to inspect pad wear, correct contact with the bearing group, absence of lateral play and smooth sliding of the drawtube throughout the full stroke. A worn or incorrectly adjusted pad can increase vibration, compromise motion linearity, generate form and geometry errors and reduce dimensional consistency of turned parts. Pad 0801017 is therefore a fundamental element for the stability of the bar pusher system, because it keeps the drawtube guided and aligned, protects the group from lateral stress and contributes to overall bar feeding precision.
