Gibraltar DCIL20-25 Die Spring 0.75 in Light Duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL20-25 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and precision tooling fixtures. It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section wound from chromium alloy steel, which delivers consistent force and extended cycle life under repeated compression. The spring has a 0.75 inch hole diameter, a 0.375 inch rod diameter, and a 1 inch free length. At maximum deflection of 0.53 inches, it delivers a load of 167 pounds. Color-coded green for quick identification of its light-duty rating, this spring is a direct fit for standard NAAMS and ISO 10243 die spring applications.

This spring is suited for light-duty tooling applications in stamping, injection molding, and die-casting operations. It is commonly installed in stripper plates, lifter mechanisms, and guided spring assemblies where controlled force and accurate travel limits are required. The 0.53 inch maximum deflection and 316 pounds per inch spring rate make it appropriate for lower-force cycling operations in both production and tooling maintenance settings. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians typically source this part as a direct OEM-style replacement or for new fixture builds.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity relative to round wire at the same envelope size
• 167 pound maximum deflection load with a 316 lb/in spring rate
• 0.53 inch maximum deflection and 0.5433 inch travel to solid
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under repeated cycling
• Green color coding identifies light-duty rating per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for light-duty die spring applications conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional standards, with a 0.75 inch hole diameter and 0.375 inch rod diameter envelope.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers or maintenance machinists during die repair or fixture assembly. Ensure the mating rod diameter does not exceed 0.375 inches and that the bore accepting the spring is sized to the 0.75 inch hole diameter to prevent binding. Never compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.53 inches, as operating past the travel-to-solid dimension will cause permanent deformation and premature failure. De-energize and lockout any press or hydraulic system before servicing springs in an active die assembly.
