Gibraltar DCIH32-127 Heavy-duty Die Spring Red

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIH32-127 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and stamping die applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a spring rate of 564 pounds per inch and handles a maximum deflection load of 963 pounds. The free length measures 5 inches, with a maximum deflection of 1.71 inches. The red color coding identifies this as a heavy-duty unit, consistent with ISO 10243 load classification. Licensed HVAC, industrial maintenance, and die-tooling professionals install this spring in precision die sets and fixture assemblies where consistent, repeatable force is required.

This die spring is suited for use in stamping dies, molds, and industrial press tooling where heavy-duty spring force and controlled travel are critical. The 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter allow direct mounting on standard guide pins and rods used in North American and international tooling assemblies. It meets NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards, making it appropriate for both domestic and internationally specified tooling builds. Typical applications include stripper plates, pressure pads, and cam return mechanisms in metalworking and fabrication environments.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty load rating with a maximum deflection load of 963 pounds (4,285.35 N)
• Spring rate of 564 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable force output
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section maximizes load capacity within the outer diameter envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated cycling
• Red color coding per ISO 10243 heavy-duty classification for quick visual identification
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for industrial stamping dies, molds, and press tooling assemblies using a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter guide pin configuration per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tooling or maintenance technicians during die build or scheduled die maintenance. Ensure the guide pin and bore are clean and within tolerance before seating the spring. De-energize and lock out all press or hydraulic equipment before servicing any die component. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.71 inches to avoid permanent set or premature fatigue failure.
