Gibraltar DCIB25-38 Die Spring Extra Heavy-duty Yellow

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIB25-38 is an extra heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and industrial tooling applications where consistent, high-force spring return is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 704 pounds at 0.44 inches of maximum deflection. The free length is 1.5 inches, with a 1 inch hole diameter and a 0.5 inch rod diameter. The yellow color coding identifies its extra heavy-duty duty rating, following standard industry color classification for quick identification during tooling setup and maintenance. Machining and tool-and-die professionals are the typical installers of this component.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping, injection mold tooling, and industrial press applications where repeatable, high-cycle spring performance is critical. Its compact free length of 1.5 inches makes it appropriate for tooling assemblies with limited vertical space. The chromium alloy steel construction handles high-cycle fatigue loads common in production stamping environments. This spring ships individually and is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Extra heavy-duty duty rating with yellow color coding for quick identification
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity relative to round-wire springs of the same envelope
• Maximum deflection load of 704 pounds at 0.44 inches deflection
• Spring rate of 1583 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high-cycle fatigue resistance
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement die spring for industrial stamping and tooling assemblies requiring a 1 inch hole diameter, 0.5 inch rod diameter, and 1.5 inch free length in an extra heavy-duty configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool-and-die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Always de-energize and lock out the press or tooling assembly before removing or installing die springs. Inspect the mating rod and bore dimensions against the spring specifications before installation to confirm proper fit and prevent side loading. Do not compress this spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.44 inches during assembly or operation.
