Gibraltar DCIL32-102 Die Spring 4 Inches Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL32-102 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and tooling fixtures where controlled compression force and repeatable deflection are required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a maximum deflection load of 504 pounds over 2.61 inches of travel. The green color coding identifies it as a light-duty rating per industry standard classification. This spring suits production tooling environments and is typically sourced and installed by tool-and-die makers, mold technicians, and maintenance machinists.

This die spring is suited for light-duty press tooling, injection mold assemblies, and stamping fixture applications where a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter are required. The 4 inch free length accommodates standard die set configurations. It fits applications calling for NAAMS or ISO 10243 compliant compression springs in both automotive and general industrial tooling.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire profile increases load capacity and fatigue life compared to round wire springs of the same envelope
• Maximum deflection load of 504 pounds with a spring rate of 193 pounds per inch
• Maximum deflection of 2.61 inches with a travel to solid of approximately 2.60 inches
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic compressive loads
• 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 direct-fit component for tooling applications requiring a light-duty die spring with a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, 5/8 inch rod diameter, and 4 inch free length per NAAMS and ISO 10243 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tool-and-die technicians or maintenance machinists. Power down and lock out all press or injection equipment before removing or installing die springs. Ensure the mating rod and bore dimensions match the specified 5/8 inch rod diameter and 1-1/4 inch hole diameter before seating the spring. Do not operate the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 2.61 inches, as over-compression can cause permanent set or failure.
