Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 196 pounds at 0.76 inches of travel. The red color coding identifies it as a heavy-duty grade per industry standards. It is sized with a 0.625-inch hole diameter and an 11\/32-inch (0.3438-inch) rod diameter, with a free length of 1.75 inches. Toolmakers, die setters, and machine maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for use in metal stamping and forming operations, injection mold tooling, and industrial press applications where a compact, high-load spring element is needed. Its ISO 10243 and NAAMS compliance makes it a direct-fit replacement in tool designs built to those standards. The spring rate of 260 pounds per inch supports precise, repeatable deflection behavior across production cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty red grade with a maximum deflection load of 196 pounds (872.20 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity in a compact envelope\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for wear resistance and fatigue life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 260 pounds per inch for consistent force output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually, minimum order quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct replacement or new-build component for stamping die, punch press, and injection mold tooling applications built to NAAMS or ISO 10243 die spring standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians during die setup or tooling rebuild. Before servicing any press or stamping die, de-energize the press and engage all mechanical safety blocks or die supports per OSHA and facility lockout\/tagout procedures. Ensure the rod and hole diameters of the tooling pocket match the spring dimensions before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond the rated maximum deflection of 0.76 inches to avoid coil bind and premature fatigue failure.\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: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.76 inches (19.30 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel To Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7736 inches (19.65 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 196 pounds (872.20 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 260 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\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAAMS, ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015 Registered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0484 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: DCIH16-44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694367965490,"sku":"DCIH16-44","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4966cada425ac895432bf398a0f01b13.jpg?v=1788323702","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcih16-44-heavy-duty-die-spring-red","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
