Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a maximum deflection load of 177.00 pounds and a spring rate of 290 pounds per inch. The red color coding identifies it as a heavy-duty load rating per industry convention. With a 0.625-inch hole diameter and an 11\/32-inch rod diameter, this spring seats reliably on standard guide rods used in press tooling applications. Installation is typically handled by tooling engineers, die makers, and maintenance technicians working on metal stamping or forming equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring is suited for use in industrial die sets and press tooling where heavy-duty return force and precise dimensional compliance are required. The 1.5-inch free length and 0.610-inch maximum deflection make it appropriate for applications with moderate stroke requirements and high load demands. It meets NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards, making it a direct fit for tooling designed to those specifications. Sold individually, it is a practical replacement or spare component for existing die assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty load rating with 177.00 lb maximum deflection load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire shape provides higher load capacity versus round wire at equivalent size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under cyclic loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed color coding for quick visual identification of duty rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registered quality standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 290 pounds per inch for predictable, consistent deflection behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement or service die spring for industrial press tooling and die sets built to NAAMS or ISO 10243 dimensional standards, requiring a 0.625-inch hole diameter and 11\/32-inch rod diameter guide pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by qualified tooling or maintenance personnel with the press locked out and de-energized per applicable LOTO procedures. Ensure the guide rod diameter does not exceed 11\/32 inches and that the die pocket hole is sized to 0.625 inches to allow proper seating without binding. Do not compress the spring beyond its maximum deflection of 0.610 inches, as exceeding this limit can cause permanent set or premature failure. Inspect mating tooling surfaces for burrs or misalignment before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3438 inches (11\/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\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 177.00 lb (787.65 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.610 inches (15.49 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel To Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6142 inches (15.60 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length At Maximum Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.61 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 290.00 lb per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trapezoidal\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chromium Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0418 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAAMS, ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015 Registered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161905\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: DCIH16-38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51719515242802,"sku":"DCIH16-38","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/77e9cee84b63a48d59d1b5ab06fe4580_f8b92fc9-f585-4493-8e5b-fe229c72b4e1.jpg?v=1788559841","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcih16-38-heavy-duty-die-spring-red","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
