Gibraltar DCIL16-102 Die Spring Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL16-102 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in tooling, stamping, and press applications where consistent, repeatable force is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 109.00 pounds and a spring rate of 43.00 pounds per inch. It has a free length of 4 inches and a maximum deflection of 2.52 inches, compressing to a solid length of 2.52 inches under full load. The green color coding follows industry-standard die spring classification for light-duty applications, making identification straightforward during maintenance and replacement.

This die spring is suited for light-duty press tool, die set, and fixture assemblies in industrial manufacturing environments. The 0.625-inch hole diameter and 0.3438-inch rod diameter make it compatible with standard die spring pockets and guide rods in stamping dies, injection molds, and similar tooling. It is typically installed by tool and die makers, machinists, or maintenance technicians working on production tooling. The spring meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards, making it appropriate for automotive and precision manufacturing supply chains.

Key Features

• Light-duty classification with 109.00-pound maximum deflection load
• Spring rate of 43.00 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable force output
• Trapezoidal wire shape maximizes load capacity within the spring envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated cycling
• Green color coding follows ISO 10243 and NAAMS light-duty identification standards
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards for use in automotive and precision tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for light-duty stamping dies, press tooling, and fixture assemblies using standard 0.625-inch hole diameter spring pockets and 0.3438-inch guide rods.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by qualified tool and die makers or maintenance technicians. Always relieve all press or tooling pressure and lock out the press before removing or installing die springs. Ensure the guide rod diameter and pocket diameter match the spring specifications before installation. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection load or compress the spring beyond its maximum deflection to avoid premature fatigue or failure.
