Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a spring rate of 101 pounds per inch across a maximum deflection of 4.44 inches. The 7-inch free length and green color coding follow ISO 10243 and NAAMS load-classification standards, making identification and replacement straightforward for tooling technicians and maintenance professionals. The part weighs 0.7036 pounds and is sold as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring is suited for installation in production stamping dies, punch press tooling, mold components, and automated fixture assemblies where a light-duty compression element is specified. Its 1-1\/4-inch hole diameter and 5\/8-inch rod diameter (0.6250 inches decimal) accommodate standard die-set rod and guide configurations. The maximum deflection load of 446 pounds at full travel makes it appropriate for lower-force applications within a broader die assembly. Tooling engineers and die maintenance technicians are the typical end users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction with trapezoidal wire cross-section for consistent load distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGreen color coding denotes light-duty rating per ISO 10243 and NAAMS standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 101 pounds per inch with a maximum deflection load of 446 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection of 4.44 inches (112.78 mm) before reaching solid height\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-unit packaging with no minimum order beyond one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for tooling assemblies specifying a light-duty, 1-1\/4-inch bore, 5\/8-inch rod, 7-inch free-length compression spring per ISO 10243 or NAAMS load classifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by tooling technicians or die maintenance personnel with the press fully de-energized, ram at bottom dead center, and all stored energy released before disassembly. Verify rod diameter and bore clearance against the existing die-set specifications before seating the spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as exceeding solid height will damage the coils and alter load characteristics. Follow applicable facility lockout\/tagout procedures throughout the replacement process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Light-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 101.0 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 446.00 pounds (1984.70 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.44 inches (112.78 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel To Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.4291 inches (112.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length At Maximum Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.44 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trapezoidal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chromium Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7036 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAAMS, ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161905\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCIL32-178\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723278680370,"sku":"DCIL32-178","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c8368fbdeebaeacfa2e573acfd5f3785.jpg?v=1788602558","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcil32-178-die-spring-7-inches-light-duty-green","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
