Gibraltar DCIH10-32 Heavy-duty Die Spring Red

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIH10-32 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in tooling, stamping, and die applications where consistent, repeatable force is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a maximum deflection load of 50 pounds over a maximum deflection of 0.48 inches. The spring rate is 102 pounds per inch, making it suited for applications demanding controlled resistance and reliable cycle life. It is installed and replaced by tool and die technicians, machinists, and maintenance personnel working on industrial press and stamping equipment.

This spring fits standard die setups requiring a 0.375-inch hole diameter and a 0.1875-inch rod diameter. Its 1.25-inch free length and red color coding follow ISO 10243 and NAAMS heavy-duty classifications, allowing straightforward identification and cross-referencing in production tooling environments. It is appropriate for both original equipment builds and replacement service in high-cycle stamping and forming dies across automotive, fabrication, and general manufacturing applications.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty duty rating with a 50-pound maximum deflection load and 0.48-inch maximum deflection
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity relative to round-wire springs of the same envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance in high-cycle tooling applications
• Red color coding conforms to ISO 10243 and NAAMS heavy-duty spring identification standards
• Spring rate of 102 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force delivery
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registered quality management practices

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or original-equipment die spring for tooling applications requiring a 0.375-inch hole diameter, a 0.1875-inch rod diameter, and a 1.25-inch free length, conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 heavy-duty die spring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tool and die technicians or maintenance machinists. De-energize and lock out all press and tooling equipment before removing or installing die springs. Verify that the mating hole diameter and rod diameter match the spring specifications before seating. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 0.48 inches, as compression beyond the design limit accelerates fatigue failure and reduces service life.
