Gibraltar DCIL10-44 Die Spring Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL10-44 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and tooling fixtures where controlled compression force and consistent return action are required. This spring features a 0.375-inch hole diameter, a 0.1875-inch rod diameter, and a free length of 1.75 inches. It is wound with trapezoidal-profile wire from chromium alloy steel, which provides high fatigue resistance under cyclic loading. The maximum deflection load is 35 pounds at 0.95 inches of maximum deflection, with a spring rate of 37 pounds per inch. The green color coding indicates a light-duty load class per ISO 10243 standards. Tool and die makers, mold builders, and press room technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This spring is suited for use in stamping dies, injection molds, progressive dies, and similar precision tooling applications in both production and repair environments. Its compact free length of 1.75 inches makes it appropriate for shallow die sets and tight-clearance tooling where space is limited. The light-duty rating suits applications requiring modest return force without the bulk of heavier-duty spring selections. It ships in a quantity of one per package.

Key Features

• Light-duty load class with a maximum deflection load of 35 pounds
• Spring rate of 37 pounds per inch for predictable, linear compression behavior
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section increases contact area and extends fatigue life compared to round wire
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated cycling
• Green color coding per ISO 10243 for quick visual load-class identification in the shop
• Compliant with NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards; manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registered quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for light-duty die spring applications conforming to ISO 10243 and NAAMS dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Die springs of this type are installed by tool and die makers or press room technicians during die build or tooling maintenance. Before replacing a die spring, de-energize and lock out the press, and relieve all stored spring pressure before disassembling the die set. Verify that the rod diameter and hole diameter of the mounting pocket match the spring specifications before installation. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection during operation, as over-compression will shorten fatigue life and may cause premature failure.
