Gibraltar DCIL20-127 Die Spring Light-duty Green 5 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL20-127 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and general industrial tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 149.00 pounds and a spring rate of 54.0 pounds per inch. The green color designation indicates the light-duty load class per ISO 10243 standards. With a free length of 5 inches and a maximum deflection of 2.78 inches, it is sized for applications requiring controlled, repeatable spring force across a full compression stroke. Mechanical engineers, tool and die technicians, and industrial maintenance personnel are the primary installers.

This die spring fits applications requiring a 0.75 inch hole diameter and a 0.375 inch rod diameter. It is suited for use in stamping and forming dies, injection mold components, punch press tooling, and similar precision industrial equipment where consistent spring return force is required. The light-duty rating makes it appropriate for lower-force tooling applications in both automotive and general manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Light-duty load class with a maximum deflection load of 149.00 pounds (663.05 N)
• Trapezoidal wire shape for higher load capacity per coil compared to round wire
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic compression
• 5 inch free length with 2.78 inches of maximum deflection travel
• Complies with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registered quality standards
• Green color coding for quick light-duty classification identification in the field

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for industrial tooling applications requiring a 0.75 inch hole diameter and 0.375 inch rod diameter with a 5 inch free length in the light-duty load class.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool and die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel during die assembly or scheduled tooling maintenance. Power down and de-energize all associated press or mold equipment before replacing die springs. Inspect the mating rod and hole pocket for wear, burrs, or misalignment before seating the spring, as misalignment accelerates fatigue failure. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and tooling design specifications when selecting spring preload.
