Gibraltar DCIL20-64 Die Spring Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL20-64 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and press tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire shape formed from chromium alloy steel, delivering consistent force and fatigue resistance under cyclic loading. The spring measures 0.75 inches in hole diameter, 0.375 inches in rod diameter, and 2.5 inches in free length. Maximum deflection load is 145 pounds, with a maximum deflection of 1.35 inches. The green color coding identifies it as a light-duty rating per standard die spring classification. This part is typically installed by tool and die makers, press technicians, and precision fabrication shops.

The DCIL20-64 is suited for light-duty press and die applications in both production and prototype tooling environments. It fits standard die set bores and guide rods dimensioned at 0.75 inches hole diameter and 0.375 inches rod diameter. Common install scenarios include stripper plates, blank holders, and component ejectors in metal stamping and injection mold tooling. The compact 2.5-inch free length fits confined die cavities where space is limited.

Key Features

• Light-duty classification with 145-pound maximum deflection load
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity relative to round wire springs of the same envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under cyclic press loads
• Green color coding for instant duty-rating identification per industry convention
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards
• Spring rate of 107 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force delivery

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension die spring replacement for light-duty press and tooling applications requiring a 0.75-inch hole diameter, 0.375-inch rod diameter, and 2.5-inch free length per NAAMS and ISO 10243 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die technicians or press maintenance personnel. De-energize and lock out the press before removing or installing die springs. Ensure the mating bore and guide rod dimensions match the spring specifications before fitment. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 1.35 inches, as compressing a die spring to solid will shorten service life and may cause sudden failure.
