Dayton Lamina 9-3232-36 Die Spring 8 in Extra Heavy-duty

Product Description

The DAYTON LAMINA 9-3232-36 is an extra heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and stamping die applications. It features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and an 8-inch free length, making it well-suited for press tools that demand reliable, repeatable force across high-cycle operations. Constructed from chromium-vanadium steel with a D-shaped wire profile, it delivers consistent spring force and resists fatigue under sustained compressive loads. The yellow color coding identifies it as an extra heavy-duty rating per ISO 10243. This spring is typically installed by tool and die makers, press technicians, or maintenance personnel working on stamping and forming tooling.

Die springs of this specification are used in metal stamping dies, injection molds, punch press tooling, and fixture applications where controlled, repeatable force is required over extended production runs. The extra heavy-duty rating means this spring carries a maximum deflection load of 2,118 pounds at 2 inches of deflection, with a travel-to-solid measurement of 2.41 inches. It suits applications requiring high force in a compact envelope, including stripper plates, pressure pads, and lifter assemblies in progressive and compound dies.

Key Features

• Extra heavy-duty duty rating with a maximum deflection load of 2,118 pounds
• Chromium-vanadium steel construction for fatigue resistance and long service life
• D-shaped wire profile for consistent load distribution and lateral stability
• Yellow color coding per ISO 10243 for quick duty-rating identification
• Maximum operating deflection of 25 percent of free length (2 inches)
• Meets ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015, and NAAMS standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for stamping, forming, and injection mold tooling applications requiring a 2-inch hole diameter, 1-inch rod diameter, and 8-inch free length in an extra heavy-duty rating.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers or press maintenance technicians. The press or tooling assembly must be fully de-energized and the ram locked out before spring replacement. Ensure the rod and bore diameters of the tooling match the spring dimensions before seating. Do not compress the spring beyond the rated travel-to-solid value, as over-compression will permanently damage the spring and reduce service life.
