Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 107 pounds at 0.69 inches of travel. The red color coding indicates heavy-duty duty rating per industry convention, allowing for quick identification during die assembly and maintenance. It is installed by tool and die makers, maintenance technicians, and industrial machine technicians working on metal forming equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spring is suited for use in stamping dies, progressive dies, and similar tooling setups requiring a compact, high-load spring element. With a 0.5-inch hole diameter and 9\/32-inch rod diameter, it fits standard die set guide posts and spring pockets commonly found in light to medium industrial tooling. The 1.5-inch free length makes it appropriate for applications with limited vertical clearance in the die stack. It meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards, making it compatible with automotive tooling specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty duty rating with 107-pound maximum deflection load at full 0.69-inch travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity per unit length compared to round wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under repeated cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed color coding for immediate duty-rating identification per NAAMS and ISO 10243 conventions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 154 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards for use in automotive and industrial tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement or new-installation die spring for stamping dies, punch presses, and progressive die tooling applications conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 standard spring pocket dimensions with a 0.5-inch hole diameter and 9\/32-inch rod diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by tool and die makers or industrial maintenance technicians during die build or scheduled tooling maintenance. De-energize and lock out all press energy sources before removing or installing die springs. Ensure the spring pocket depth and guide rod diameter match the spring specifications before seating. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 0.69 inches, as compressing beyond solid height will cause permanent deformation and premature failure.\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: 0.2813 inches (9\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length at Maximum Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.69 inches (17.53 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel to Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6969 inches (17.70 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 107 pounds (476.15 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\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\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: 0.0246 pounds\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: DCIH12.5-38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694471807282,"sku":"DCIH12.5-38","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/aaf9fa9210a1b557d724e350d8351601.jpg?v=1788324656","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcih12-5-38-heavy-duty-die-spring-red","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
