Manufactured from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 224 pounds and a spring rate of 228 pounds per inch. The yellow color coding identifies its extra heavy-duty duty rating per industry convention. At 3 inches free length and a compressed length of 0.98 inches at maximum load, it is sized for demanding high-cycle tooling work. Installation and replacement are typically performed by tool and die makers, mold technicians, or maintenance machinists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for use in stamping dies, injection mold tooling, and similar precision press applications where consistent, high-force spring return is required. The 0.625 inch hole diameter and 0.344 inch rod diameter allow it to fit standard die set guide rod configurations. Maximum deflection is 0.980 inches, and travel to solid load measures 0.992 inches. Its compact compressed geometry makes it appropriate for tight die set clearances in both prototype and production tooling environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra heavy-duty duty rating with yellow color coding for quick visual identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity relative to round-wire springs of equivalent size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection load of 224 pounds with a spring rate of 228 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for durability in high-cycle tooling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards for dimensional and quality consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually with a minimum order quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard die spring replacement conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional standards, suitable for use in stamping dies, molds, and press tooling that accept a 0.625 inch hole diameter and 0.344 inch rod diameter spring with a 3 inch free length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie spring replacement should be performed by qualified tool and die or mold maintenance personnel with the press or tooling equipment fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Inspect the mating guide rod and bore for wear or damage before installing the new spring. Never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as over-compression can cause premature fatigue failure or spring fracture. Use proper spring removal tools to safely manage stored energy during disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.344 inches (0.3438 inches decimal)\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: 0.980 inches (24.89 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel To Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.992 inches (25.20 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 224 pounds (996.80 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 228 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length At Maximum Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.98 inches\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0915 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: DCIB16-76\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697017979186,"sku":"DCIB16-76","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9ffec4a1cfd9f7917473d71812c4c82b.jpg?v=1788348517","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcib16-76-die-spring-extra-heavy-duty-yellow","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
