It features a trapezoidal wire shape wound from chromium alloy steel, which provides consistent force output and extended cycle life under repetitive load conditions. The spring has a 0.5-inch hole diameter, a 0.28-inch rod diameter, and a 1-inch free length. It delivers a maximum deflection load of 107.00 pounds at 0.44 inches of travel, making it suitable for applications that demand reliable, high-force spring return. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is used in industrial tooling environments where controlled compression force and precise spring return are required. Typical applications include stamping and forming dies, injection mold components, jigs, and fixtures. The red color coding identifies it as a heavy-duty spring within standard die spring classification systems, consistent with NAAMS and ISO 10243 grading conventions. It is sold individually and is suited for both OEM tooling builds and maintenance replacement work in manufacturing facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity per unit length compared to round wire springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection load of 107.00 pounds at 0.44 inches of travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 242.00 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under high-cycle conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed color coding indicates heavy-duty duty rating per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for stamping dies, punch press tooling, and precision fixture assemblies requiring a heavy-duty die spring with a 0.5-inch hole diameter, 0.28-inch rod diameter, and 1-inch free length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified tool-and-die makers or industrial maintenance technicians. De-energize and fully lock out all press and tooling equipment before replacing any die spring. Verify that the mating hole diameter and rod diameter match the spring specifications before seating the spring to prevent misalignment or side-loading. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.44 inches, as overtravel can cause premature failure or tooling damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.28 inches (0.2813 decimal inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.44 inches (11.18 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel To Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4567 inches (11.60 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 107.00 pounds (476.15 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 242.00 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trapezoidal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chromium Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAAMS, ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0154 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCIH12.5-25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700579336498,"sku":"DCIH12.5-25","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6f1cd40094449cde65d9f08f8ad64e63.jpg?v=1788392230","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcih12-5-25-heavy-duty-die-spring-red","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
