Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a maximum deflection load of 100 pounds with a spring rate of 87 pounds per inch. The 0.5-inch hole diameter and 0.281-inch rod diameter allow straightforward fitment over standard guide rods. This spring is color-coded red, indicating heavy-duty duty rating per industry convention. Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers, machine builders, or maintenance technicians working on press tooling and automated fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for heavy-duty industrial tooling environments including stamping dies, injection molds, and mechanical presses. The 2.5-inch free length compresses to a solid length of 1.15 inches, providing 1.15 inches of maximum deflection travel. Applications include stripper plates, lifter mechanisms, and cam-return assemblies in production tooling where space constraints and load requirements demand a compact, high-force spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty duty rating with 100-pound maximum deflection load (445 newtons)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity versus round wire of the same envelope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under repeated cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 87 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed color-coding for quick visual identification of heavy-duty rating in mixed tooling environments\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 a standard heavy-duty die spring conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional standards, suitable for use in stamping dies, molds, and tooling fixtures with a 0.5-inch hole diameter and 0.281-inch rod diameter guide configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified tool and die technicians or maintenance personnel with the press or machine de-energized and all stored mechanical energy relieved before disassembly. Inspect the mating guide rod and bore for wear or misalignment prior to installation, as side loading significantly reduces spring service life. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 1.15 inches during operation. Refer to applicable machine safety standards and the tooling OEM documentation for proper preload and assembly procedures.\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: 0.281 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.15 inches (29.21 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length at Maximum Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel to Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.13 inches (28.70 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 pounds (445 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 87 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: 0.043 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: DCIH12.5-64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691031560498,"sku":"DCIH12.5-64","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c919a7ed3a79b13c2aa8f49e333ca426.jpg?v=1788279576","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcih12-5-64-die-spring-2-5-in-heavy-duty-red","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
