It features a 1-1\/2 inch hole diameter, a 3\/4 inch rod diameter, and a free length of 4 inches. The spring is wound from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, which increases the contact surface area per coil and delivers higher load capacity compared to round-wire designs. Rated for a maximum deflection load of 1,344 pounds and a maximum deflection of 1.38 inches, this spring is built for sustained, high-cycle press operations where consistent force and fatigue resistance are required. Licensed tool and die professionals and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for heavy-load tooling setups in stamping, forming, and stripping operations across automotive, metal fabrication, and general manufacturing environments. The red color coding identifies it as a heavy-duty load class, making it easy to sort and match with other springs during die setup or maintenance. Its compact compressed length of 1.38 inches allows it to fit within tight die sets while still delivering controlled, repeatable spring force throughout the stroke cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty load rating with a maximum deflection load of 1,344 pounds (5,980.80 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section for increased load capacity and reduced fatigue over high-cycle use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for hardness, durability, and resistance to set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch hole diameter and 3\/4 inch rod diameter for standard die set fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed color code identifies heavy-duty load class at a glance during die assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards for dimensional and quality conformance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for heavy-duty stamping dies and punch press tooling requiring a 1-1\/2 inch hole diameter, 3\/4 inch rod diameter, and 4 inch free length in the heavy-duty (red) load class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by tool and die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel during die build or scheduled press maintenance. Power down and de-energize the press completely before removing or replacing die springs. Ensure the rod and hole diameters of the die set match the spring specifications before installing. Inspect the die pocket and rod surface for burrs or wear that could cause uneven loading or premature spring failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.38 inches (35.05 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel To Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3661 inches (34.70 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,344 pounds (5,980.80 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 973 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length At Maximum Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\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\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.81 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAAMS, ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161905\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: DCIH40-102\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696380412210,"sku":"DCIH40-102","price":27.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/51b421f39f554d40708b880084c017f5.jpg?v=1788342076","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcih40-102-die-spring-4in-heavy-duty-red","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
