Gibraltar DCIL25-64 Die Spring Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL25-64 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in tooling, stamping, and press applications. It features a 1 inch hole diameter and a 0.5 inch rod diameter, with a free length of 2.5 inches. The spring is manufactured from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, which provides consistent load distribution and extended fatigue life compared to round-wire alternatives. Maximum deflection load is 280 pounds, with a maximum deflection of 1.37 inches. The spring rate is 204 pounds per inch. Color-coded green to indicate light-duty classification, this part is installed by toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance technicians.

This die spring is suited for light-duty die and mold applications including stamping presses, injection molds, and automated tooling fixtures in both production and maintenance environments. The green color coding allows for quick identification during changeouts in high-volume press shops. It meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards, making it appropriate for use in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing tooling assemblies where dimensional and load consistency are required.

Key Features

• Light-duty classification with 280 pound maximum deflection load
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for improved load capacity and fatigue life over round-wire springs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic loading
• 1.37 inch maximum deflection with a spring rate of 204 pounds per inch
• Green color coding for instant duty-rating identification during service
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation die spring for light-duty stamping dies, injection molds, and press tooling assemblies that require a 1 inch hole diameter and 0.5 inch rod diameter with a 2.5 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians familiar with press safety procedures. Always relieve all press and tooling pressure before removing or installing die springs. Verify that the rod diameter and hole diameter clearances match the tooling design before installation. Inspect the spring seat and guide rod for wear or damage prior to reassembly to prevent premature fatigue failure.
