Wound from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a rated spring rate of 95 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 106 pounds. The trapezoidal wire profile increases active coil surface area, improving load capacity and fatigue resistance compared to round-wire springs of equivalent size. Typical installers include tool-and-die technicians, press maintenance mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals working with stamping dies, injection molds, and similar tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for use in stamping dies, punching presses, molds, and other repetitive-cycle industrial tooling where consistent force and long service life are required. The yellow color coding indicates extra heavy-duty load class per ISO 10243 and NAAMS standards, making it straightforward to identify and source replacements during scheduled die maintenance. With a free length of 3 inches, a hole diameter of 0.5 inches, and a rod diameter of 0.28 inches, it fits standard die spring pockets of compatible dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra heavy-duty duty rating with a maximum deflection load of 106 pounds (471.70 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load density and improved fatigue life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated compression cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow color coding per ISO 10243 and NAAMS standards for easy load-class identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection of 1.12 inches with a compressed solid length of 1.12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliant with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registered quality systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for standard industrial tooling applications requiring a 0.5 inch hole diameter, 0.28 inch rod diameter, and 3 inch free length extra heavy-duty spring conforming to ISO 10243 and NAAMS dimensional standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie spring replacement and installation should be performed by qualified tool-and-die or industrial maintenance personnel with the press or tooling fully de-energized, locked out, and secured against unexpected actuation per applicable LOTO procedures. Inspect the spring pocket and guide rod for wear, burrs, or misalignment before installing the new spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.12 inches, as exceeding this limit reduces service life and risks spring failure. Replacement springs should be installed with the same orientation and seating as the original component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.28 inches (0.2813 decimal inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.12 inches (28.45 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel To Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.13 inches (28.70 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length At Maximum Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 106 pounds (471.70 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 95 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trapezoidal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chromium Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAAMS, ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015 Registered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0497 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCIB12.5-76\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698346787122,"sku":"DCIB12.5-76","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/befa0a41b834d05e01e5aaf66532883c.jpg?v=1788361471","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcib12-5-76-die-spring-extra-heavy-duty-yellow","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
