Dayton Lamina 9-0607-26 Heavy-duty Die Spring Red

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 9-0607-26 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and precision tooling applications. It features a 0.375-inch hole diameter, a 0.1875-inch rod diameter, and a free length of 1.75 inches. Constructed from chromium-vanadium steel with a D-shaped wire cross-section, this spring delivers reliable, repeatable force under high-cycle industrial loads. It is color-coded red to indicate heavy-duty load rating, a standard identification system used across die spring product lines. Toolmakers, die setters, and press room technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, injection mold assemblies, and other precision tooling where consistent spring force and controlled deflection are required. It is applicable in both production stamping environments and tool and die shops. The red color coding immediately identifies the load class during setup and maintenance, reducing the risk of incorrect spring substitution during a die change. It is a standard industrial component used across automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing tooling.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty load rating with a maximum deflection load of 42 pounds
• Maximum deflection of 0.52 inches at a maximum operating deflection of 30 percent of free length
• Travel to solid load of 0.78 inches
• D-shaped wire cross-section for improved stability and precise rod and hole alignment
• Chromium-vanadium steel construction for fatigue resistance under high-cycle conditions
• Red color coding for quick visual identification of heavy-duty load class
• Meets ISO 10243 International Standard, ISO 9001:2015, and NAAMS requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ISO 10243 heavy-duty die spring for use in stamping dies and precision tooling applications requiring a 0.375-inch hole diameter and 0.1875-inch rod diameter with a 1.75-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified toolmakers or die setters familiar with press tooling and spring retention practices. Always confirm that the mating rod diameter and hole diameter in the die set match the spring specifications before installation. Inspect the spring seat and rod for burrs or damage that could cause uneven loading or premature fatigue. Never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum operating deflection, as exceeding this limit reduces service life and can cause spring failure.
