Gibraltar DCIL32-152 Die Spring 6 in Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL32-152 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and industrial tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 480 pounds and a maximum deflection of 3.87 inches at a free length of 6 inches. The spring rate is 124 pounds per inch. Color-coded green for quick identification of its light-duty rating, it is sized for a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and a 5/8 inch rod diameter. Installation is performed by toolmakers, maintenance technicians, and industrial mechanics working on press tooling and die sets.

This die spring is suited for light-duty cycling applications in stamping dies, injection molds, jigs, and fixtures. The 6 inch free length and 3.87 inch maximum deflection make it appropriate for tooling setups that require controlled, repeatable spring force with consistent return travel. It is a direct replacement style spring for standard die spring cavities following NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional guidelines.

Key Features

• 6 inch free length with 3.87 inches of maximum deflection travel
• Spring rate of 124 pounds per inch for predictable load-deflection behavior
• Green color coding for instant duty-rating identification at the tooling station
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement die spring for standard light-duty die spring pockets conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional specifications, with a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified toolmakers or maintenance technicians familiar with press tooling and die set assembly. Relieve all press pressure and de-energize the press before removing or installing die springs. Inspect the spring pocket and guide rod for wear or misalignment before installing the new spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 3.87 inches.
