Gibraltar DCIB25-32 Die Spring Extra Heavy-duty Yellow

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIB25-32 is an extra heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and similar industrial tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 767 pounds and a spring rate of 1988 pounds per inch. The yellow color coding identifies it as an extra heavy-duty rating per standard die spring classification. With a 1-inch hole diameter and a 0.5-inch rod diameter, it fits standard die set configurations and is installed by tool and die makers, press maintenance technicians, and industrial machine builders.

This die spring is suited for high-load, repetitive-cycle tooling environments where consistent return force and long fatigue life are required. Typical applications include stamping dies, injection mold tooling, and other precision industrial machinery that demands reliable spring performance under heavy compressive loads. Its compact 1.25-inch free length makes it appropriate for installations with limited vertical clearance in die sets.

Key Features

• Extra heavy-duty duty rating with yellow color coding per standard die spring classification
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity compared to round-wire springs of equivalent size
• Maximum deflection load of 767 pounds at 0.39 inches of travel
• Spring rate of 1988 pounds per inch for predictable, consistent performance
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability in demanding industrial tooling cycles

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-format die spring compatible with tooling applications requiring a 1-inch hole diameter, 0.5-inch rod diameter, and 1.25-inch free length in an extra heavy-duty rating per NAAMS and ISO 10243 specifications.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed and serviced by tool and die technicians and press maintenance personnel. Always de-energize and lock out the press before removing or replacing die springs. Confirm that the hole diameter and rod diameter clearances match the die set design before installation. Inspect mating surfaces for wear or damage that could cause uneven loading or premature spring failure.
