Gibraltar DCIL20-102 Die Spring 3/4 in Light Duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL20-102 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in die sets, molds, jigs, and fixtures where controlled compression force is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 150 pounds and a spring rate of 68 pounds per inch. The 3/4-inch hole diameter accommodates standard die set guide posts, while the 3/8-inch rod diameter and 4-inch free length suit a wide range of tooling applications. The green color coding follows ISO 10243 classification for light-duty springs, making it easy to identify the load class at a glance. It is typically installed by toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance technicians working in stamping, fabrication, and injection molding environments.

This spring is suited for light-duty compression applications in production tooling, automated machinery, and die maintenance. The 4-inch free length compresses to a solid length of approximately 2.21 inches, providing 2.21 inches of usable travel. It is sold individually and is a direct replacement or supplemental component in standard die spring layouts wherever a 3/4-inch hole and 3/8-inch rod configuration is required.

Key Features

• Light-duty classification with 150-pound maximum deflection load
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for consistent load distribution and long cycle life
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated compression
• Green color coding per ISO 10243 for quick load-class identification
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards
• 2.21 inches of maximum deflection with a spring rate of 68 pounds per inch

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental die spring for standard tooling applications requiring a 3/4-inch hole diameter and 3/8-inch rod diameter with a 4-inch free length in light-duty configurations.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed and serviced by qualified toolmakers or maintenance technicians. Ensure the mating guide post and bore dimensions match the rod and hole diameter specifications before installation. De-energize and lock out all machinery before servicing die sets or replacing springs. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection load or compress the spring beyond its solid length, as doing so will cause permanent deformation or premature failure.
