Dayton Lamina 9-1606-11 Die Spring Light-duty Green

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 9-1606-11 is a light-duty die spring designed for precision tooling and stamping die applications. It features a 1 inch hole diameter, a 1/2 inch rod diameter, and a 1-1/2 inch free length. Built from chromium-vanadium steel, this spring delivers consistent, repeatable force across its service life. The D-shaped wire profile resists rotation and helps maintain accurate seating in die sets. A maximum deflection load of 221 pounds and a maximum deflection of 0.6 inches make it suited for applications requiring controlled, moderate spring force. The green color coding follows ISO 10243 standards for quick visual identification of light-duty rating on the shop floor.

This die spring is used primarily in metal stamping, punch press, and die tooling assemblies found in manufacturing and fabrication environments. It is installed by toolmakers, die setters, and machining professionals maintaining or building progressive, compound, or single-operation dies. The 1-1/2 inch free length and light-duty rating make it a common choice for stripper plates, blank holders, and component ejection mechanisms where moderate force and precise travel are required.

Key Features

• Light-duty chromium-vanadium steel construction for consistent spring force and durability
• D-shaped wire profile resists rotation and maintains stable positioning in die sets
• 1 inch hole diameter and 1/2 inch rod diameter for standard die set fitment
• Maximum deflection load of 221 pounds with 0.6 inch maximum deflection
• Green color coding per ISO 10243 for fast visual identification of duty class
• Meets ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015, and NAAMS standards for quality and dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for light-duty stamping die and punch press tooling assemblies requiring a 1 inch hole diameter and 1/2 inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed and serviced by toolmakers and die maintenance technicians. Always relieve all press tonnage and lock out the press before accessing die sets. Inspect the spring seat and rod for wear, burrs, or misalignment before installation, as surface irregularities accelerate fatigue. Never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as over-compression causes permanent set and premature failure.
