Gibraltar DCIH32-89 Die Spring Red Heavy-duty

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIH32-89 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and industrial tooling applications. It features a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, a 5/8 inch rod diameter, and a 3-1/2 inch free length. The spring is manufactured from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, which provides a higher load capacity relative to its physical size compared to round-wire springs. Rated for a maximum deflection load of 922 pounds and a maximum deflection of 1.14 inches, this part handles demanding cycle loads in production tooling. Identified by its red color coding per NAAMS and ISO 10243 heavy-duty classification. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, or industrial MRO technicians sourcing tooling components will recognize this as a direct-fit specification item.

This die spring is suited for use in stamping dies, progressive dies, forming tools, injection mold components, and general industrial press tooling where consistent spring force and long fatigue life are required. The heavy-duty red classification per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards makes it a recognized specification in North American and international tooling environments. Typical applications include stripper plates, lifters, and return mechanisms in metal stamping operations. It is sold individually and is an appropriate replacement or spare in MRO settings where standard die spring dimensions are called out on engineering drawings.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty red classification per NAAMS and ISO 10243 international die spring standards
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section delivers higher load density than equivalent round-wire springs
• Maximum deflection load of 922 pounds with a spring rate of 808 pounds per inch
• Maximum deflection of 1.14 inches with a compressed solid length of 1.14 inches
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance under repeated cycling
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registered quality management system

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NAAMS and ISO 10243 compliant heavy-duty die spring. Any tooling application specifying a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, 5/8 inch rod diameter, 3-1/2 inch free length, red heavy-duty die spring per these standards is a compatible application.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tooling technicians or die setters working on stamping or press tooling. Always relieve all press load and lock out or tag out the press before accessing the die set. Ensure the rod and hole dimensions in the die block match the spring specifications before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond the rated maximum deflection to avoid premature fatigue failure or permanent set.
