Gibraltar DCIH50-64 Heavy-duty Die Spring Red

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIH50-64 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and stamping applications. It features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and a free length of 2.5 inches. The spring is wound from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, delivering a spring rate of 2423 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 2203 pounds. The red color coding identifies it as a heavy-duty rating per standard die spring classifications. This part is installed and serviced by toolroom machinists, press maintenance technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working with stamping dies, molds, and precision fixtures.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, injection molds, punch presses, and similar industrial tooling where consistent, high-force return action is required. The compact 2.5-inch free length and 0.91-inch maximum deflection make it appropriate for applications with limited travel clearance. It is packaged and sold individually, making it a practical replacement or spare for existing tooling setups.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty red color coding for quick load-rating identification in mixed tooling environments
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity in a given envelope compared to round wire
• Maximum deflection load of 2203 pounds with a spring rate of 2423 pounds per inch
• Maximum deflection of 0.91 inches with a travel to solid of 0.89 inches
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated high-cycle compression
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards for dimensional and quality conformance

Compatibility

Designed as a heavy-duty OEM-style die spring replacement conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards, suitable for stamping dies, molds, and industrial tooling fixtures requiring a 2-inch hole diameter and 1-inch rod diameter interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolroom or maintenance personnel during die maintenance or rebuild. Power down and de-energize all press equipment before disassembling any tooling or die sets. Ensure the mating rod and bore dimensions are within tolerance before seating the spring to prevent side loading. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection during setup or operation.
