Gibraltar DCIB50-102 Die Spring 4 in Extra Heavy-duty Yellow

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIB50-102 is an extra heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and stamping die applications. It features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and a 4-inch free length. Constructed from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 3,034 pounds and a spring rate of 2,221 pounds per inch. The yellow color coding follows the ISO 10243 standard for identifying extra heavy-duty duty ratings, making it straightforward to select and verify the correct spring during die maintenance or replacement.

This die spring is used in metal stamping, press tooling, injection molds, and other industrial die applications where high-cycle reliability and consistent force output are required. It is suited for use in both production and maintenance environments where ISO 10243 and NAAMS-compliant components are specified. Toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance machinists are the typical installers in shop and manufacturing settings.

Key Features

• Extra heavy-duty duty rating with yellow color coding per ISO 10243
• Trapezoidal wire shape for higher load capacity compared to round-wire springs of the same envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under high-cycle conditions
• Maximum deflection load of 3,034 pounds at 1.37 inches of travel
• Spring rate of 2,221 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Compliant with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registered quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension die spring for use in tooling, stamping dies, and industrial press applications requiring an extra heavy-duty spring with a 2-inch hole diameter and 1-inch rod diameter per ISO 10243 and NAAMS dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians with the press or tooling fully de-energized and all stored energy safely relieved before disassembly. Springs should be installed in the correct bore and rod fit as specified by the die design — do not substitute a spring of a different duty rating or color code without verifying load requirements. Inspect the bore and rod surfaces for wear or damage before fitting the new spring. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and die maintenance standards during service.
