Gibraltar DCIH32-114 Heavy-duty Die Spring Red

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIH32-114 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, presses, and industrial tooling applications. It features a 1.25-inch hole diameter, a 0.625-inch rod diameter, and a 4.5-inch free length. The spring is wound from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, which increases the load-bearing surface and supports a maximum deflection load of 967 pounds. The red color coding identifies it as a heavy-duty rating per industry convention. Industrial maintenance technicians and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers.

This die spring is suited for heavy-duty press tooling, mold components, and mechanical assemblies where consistent return force and fatigue resistance are required. The 1.5400-inch maximum deflection and a spring rate of 627 pounds per inch make it appropriate for applications demanding precise, repeatable compression under high cyclic loads. It is sold individually and is a direct-fit replacement in tooling setups dimensioned for a 1.25-inch hole and 0.625-inch guide rod.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty rating with 967 pound maximum deflection load
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section increases contact area and load capacity versus round wire
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
• Red color coding identifies heavy-duty duty rating per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards
• 1.5400-inch maximum deflection with 1.5157-inch travel to solid load
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 registered standards

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement die spring for tooling setups requiring a 1.25-inch hole diameter, 0.625-inch guide rod diameter, and 4.5-inch free length in heavy-duty press and stamping die applications.

Installation Notes

Die spring replacement is typically performed by tool-and-die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Relieve all press and die pressure and lock out or tag out the equipment before removing or installing any spring components. Confirm the guide rod diameter and pocket hole diameter match the spring specifications before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as exceeding this value will reduce service life and can cause premature failure.
