Gibraltar DCIL10-64 Die Spring Light-duty Green 2.5 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL10-64 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and industrial tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section and is manufactured from chromium alloy steel for consistent load performance under repeated compression cycles. The spring has a free length of 2.5 inches, a hole diameter of 0.375 inches, and a rod diameter of 0.1875 inches. It delivers a maximum deflection load of 45 pounds at a maximum deflection of 1.48 inches. The green color coding indicates its light-duty rating, making it easy to identify during die assembly and maintenance.

This die spring is suited for use in press tooling, injection mold components, and fixture applications where controlled spring force and predictable travel are required. It is typically installed by tool and die makers, mold technicians, and maintenance machinists in both production and job-shop environments. The compact profile fits standard die shoe and stripper plate configurations common in light-duty stamping and molding setups.

Key Features

• Light-duty rating with a maximum deflection load of 45 pounds
• Maximum deflection of 1.48 inches with a compressed solid length of 1.48 inches
• Trapezoidal wire shape for higher load capacity relative to round-wire springs of the same envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
• Green color coding identifies light-duty rating at a glance during tooling maintenance
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-format light-duty die spring suitable for stamping dies, injection molds, and tooling fixtures that accept a 0.375-inch hole diameter and 0.1875-inch rod diameter spring of 2.5-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers or mold maintenance technicians. Always relieve all press pressure and lock out the tooling before removing or replacing die springs. Inspect the spring pocket and rod for wear or damage before installing a replacement. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection, as over-compression accelerates fatigue failure and may damage adjacent tooling components.
