Dayton Lamina 9-1612-11 Die Spring Light-duty Green

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 9-1612-11 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and press tooling applications. Built from chromium-vanadium steel with a D-shaped wire profile, this spring delivers consistent load performance across its 3-inch free length. The hole diameter is 1 inch and the rod diameter is 1/2 inch, making it straightforward to locate on standard die components. Maximum deflection load is 201 pounds at 1.2 inches of travel. Color-coded green for quick identification of its light-duty rating. Toolmakers and die maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This die spring is suited for light-duty stamping, forming, and stripping operations in both production and prototype tooling. It fits standard die sets where a 1-inch bore and 1/2-inch guide rod are specified. The 3-inch free length and 40 percent maximum operating deflection make it a practical choice for applications requiring moderate travel with controlled spring force. Manufactured to ISO 10243 dimensional standards, it integrates directly into metric and inch-based die designs that call for a light-duty green-series spring.

Key Features

• Light-duty green series rated to 201 pounds maximum deflection load
• Chromium-vanadium steel construction with D-shaped wire for consistent seating
• 1-inch hole diameter and 1/2-inch rod diameter for standard die fitment
• 3-inch free length with 1.2-inch maximum deflection at rated load
• 40 percent maximum operating deflection keeps fatigue life in check
• Meets ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015, and NAAMS standards

Compatibility

Designed as a light-duty ISO 10243 green-series die spring for use in stamping dies, injection molds, and press tooling requiring a 1-inch bore and 1/2-inch guide rod.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation is performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians during die assembly or scheduled tooling service. Power down all press and hydraulic equipment before accessing the die set. Inspect the guide rod and bore for wear or misalignment before installing the new spring. Never exceed the rated maximum operating deflection, as operating a die spring beyond its travel-to-solid load will accelerate fatigue failure.
