Gibraltar DCIL25-25 Die Spring 1in Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL25-25 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and tooling fixtures where consistent, reliable spring force is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 306 pounds and a spring rate of 589 pounds per inch. The green color coding identifies it as a light-duty rating per industry standards. At 1 inch free length, it is suited for compact tooling setups where space is limited. Installation is typically handled by tooling technicians, machinists, or die maintenance personnel.

This die spring is used in press tooling, injection molds, stamping dies, and similar industrial applications requiring controlled compression force. The 1 inch hole diameter and 0.5 inch rod diameter allow it to seat properly on standard guide rods and in standard die pockets. With a maximum deflection of 0.52 inches and a compressed length at maximum load of 0.52 inches, it is suited for light-force applications where precise deflection control is critical to part quality and die longevity.

Key Features

• Light-duty rating with 306 pound maximum deflection load
• Spring rate of 589 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable force
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section maximizes load capacity within a compact envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for wear and fatigue resistance in cyclic tooling applications
• Green color coding per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards for easy duty-class identification
• Compliant with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for light-duty stamping die, mold, and tooling fixture applications requiring a 1 inch hole diameter and 0.5 inch rod diameter with 1 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified tooling or maintenance personnel familiar with press and die safety procedures. Always de-energize and lockout the press before servicing tooling components. Inspect the guide rod and die pocket for wear or damage before installing a replacement spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as over-compression will shorten service life and may cause premature failure.
