Dayton Lamina 9-1608-26 Heavy-duty Die Spring Red

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 9-1608-26 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for precision tooling applications in industrial stamping and die-set environments. Built from chromium-vanadium steel, it delivers a maximum deflection load of 539 pounds and a maximum deflection of 0.6 inches, making it well suited for high-cycle, high-load press operations. The D-shaped wire cross-section allows for efficient use of space within die sets while maintaining consistent spring force over extended service life. Tool and die makers, maintenance technicians, and mold shop professionals typically specify this spring when replacing or building out die assemblies that demand reliable, repeatable performance.

This spring is intended for use in metal stamping dies, injection mold assemblies, and similar precision tooling setups where controlled spring force and accurate deflection are critical. The red color coding identifies its heavy-duty rating, allowing technicians to quickly confirm the correct spring specification during assembly or maintenance. It is compliant with ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015, and NAAMS standards, making it a suitable choice for automotive tooling programs and other applications that require documented standards compliance.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty duty rating with a maximum deflection load of 539 pounds
• Chromium-vanadium steel construction for high-cycle fatigue resistance
• D-shaped wire profile for space-efficient die set installation
• Red color coding for quick identification of heavy-duty rating
• Maximum operating deflection of 30 percent of free length
• Meets ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015, and NAAMS standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for heavy-duty die spring positions in industrial stamping dies and mold assemblies requiring a 1-inch hole diameter, 0.5-inch rod diameter, and 2-inch free length per ISO 10243 specifications.

Installation Notes

Die spring replacement and installation should be performed by qualified tool and die technicians or maintenance personnel familiar with press and die-set safety procedures. Always de-energize and lock out the press before accessing the die set. Ensure the spring seat and rod diameter match the specified 0.5-inch rod and 1-inch hole dimensions before installation. Never compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.6 inches, as exceeding this value can cause premature fatigue failure or uncontrolled spring failure.
