Gibraltar DCIB25-44 Die Spring Extra Heavy-duty Yellow

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIB25-44 is an extra heavy-duty die spring designed for high-load tooling and stamping applications. It features a 1-inch hole diameter, a 1/2-inch rod diameter, and a free length of 1.75 inches. Wound from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 717 pounds and a maximum deflection of 0.53 inches. The yellow color coding indicates its extra heavy-duty duty rating per industry convention. It is installed by tool and die makers, press technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working with stamping dies, molds, and fixture tooling.

This die spring is suited for use in stamping dies, injection molds, and precision tooling fixtures where high spring force in a compact envelope is required. The trapezoidal wire cross-section increases load capacity compared to round wire designs of the same envelope size. Applications span automotive tooling, metal fabrication, and industrial press operations where consistent, repeatable spring force is critical to part quality and die performance.

Key Features

• Extra heavy-duty duty rating with 717-pound maximum deflection load
• Trapezoidal wire shape for high load density in compact form factor
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance and durability
• Yellow color coding for quick visual duty-rating identification
• Spring rate of 1,349 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension die spring for use in stamping dies, molds, and tooling fixtures sized for a 1-inch hole diameter and 1/2-inch guide rod, conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Die springs of this type are installed by qualified tool and die technicians during die assembly or maintenance. Always relieve all press pressure and mechanically lock the press ram before removing or installing die springs. Verify that the guide rod diameter and pocket bore match the spring specifications before installation. Inspect the spring seat and guide rod for wear or damage that could cause uneven loading or premature spring failure.
