It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section wound from chromium alloy steel, which delivers higher load capacity and longer fatigue life compared to round-wire springs of the same size. The spring carries a maximum deflection load of 440 pounds (1958 N) with a maximum deflection of 0.82 inches. At a free length of 3 inches and a spring rate of 537 pounds per inch, it provides consistent, predictable resistance throughout its travel. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades as well as tool-and-die shops install this type of component in dies, fixtures, and automated machinery where reliable return force is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for production stamping and forming tooling in both industrial and light-manufacturing environments. Its 0.75 inch hole diameter and 0.375 inch rod diameter make it compatible with standard die-set configurations that accept this bore and rod combination. The yellow color designation indicates extra heavy-duty load classification under the ISO 10243 and NAAMS color-coding standards, helping technicians quickly identify the correct spring during maintenance or replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra heavy-duty duty rating with a maximum deflection load of 440 pounds (1958 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load density and extended cycle life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for strength and fatigue resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 537 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection of 0.82 inches (20.83 mm) before reaching solid height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for extra heavy-duty die springs with a 0.75 inch hole diameter and 0.375 inch rod diameter in standard tooling die sets conforming to NAAMS or ISO 10243 specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie spring replacement is performed by toolmakers or qualified mechanical technicians. Always relieve all stored energy and confirm the press or fixture is fully de-energized and locked out before removing or installing springs. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.82 inches, as exceeding this value risks permanent set or premature failure. Verify the mating rod diameter and bore dimensions match the spring before installation to prevent lateral loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 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: 0.82 inches (20.83 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 440 pounds (1958 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 537 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 Code\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: 0.146 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: DCIB20-76\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722196812082,"sku":"DCIB20-76","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/12db602e866bed83ad489ac38b35cd7c.jpg?v=1788587203","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcib20-76-die-spring-extra-heavy-duty-yellow","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
