Gibraltar DCIH32-51 Heavy-duty Die Spring Red

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIH32-51 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and stamping applications. It features a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, a 5/8 inch rod diameter, and a 2 inch free length, making it a compact but capable component for precision industrial use. Constructed from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 1004 pounds and a maximum deflection of 0.66 inches. The red color coding identifies it as a heavy-duty unit within the standard die spring classification system. Licensed HVAC, mechanical, and tool-and-die professionals will recognize this as a reliable OEM-style replacement or upgrade component.

This die spring is suited for use in stamping dies, punch presses, molds, and similar industrial tooling setups where consistent spring force and repeatable travel are critical. Its compact 2 inch free length and heavy-duty load rating make it well suited for confined tooling cavities that demand high force output. The spring meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards, making it appropriate for both North American and international tooling environments.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty duty rating with 1004 pounds maximum deflection load
• Trapezoidal wire shape for higher load capacity compared to round wire designs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated cycling
• 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter for standard tooling fitment
• Red color coding for quick duty-rating identification in the field
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for standard heavy-duty tooling, stamping dies, and punch press applications conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tool-and-die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel familiar with spring-loaded tooling assemblies. Always de-energize and lock out the press or machine before servicing any die components. Confirm that the rod and hole diameters of the housing match the 5/8 inch rod and 1-1/4 inch hole specifications of this spring before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.66 inches to avoid permanent set or premature failure.
