Gibraltar DCIL32-64 Die Spring 2-1/2 in Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL32-64 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in press tooling, stamping dies, and industrial machinery applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 508 pounds (2260.60 N) and a spring rate of 314 pounds per inch. The free length is 2.5 inches, with a maximum deflection of 1.61 inches. The green color coding identifies it as a light-duty rating per industry standard color conventions. This part is suited for maintenance technicians, toolmakers, and industrial mechanics who need a direct OEM-spec replacement or standard die spring for new tooling builds.

This die spring is used in stamping and forming dies, injection mold tooling, and general industrial press applications where controlled, repeatable spring force is required. The 1.25-inch hole diameter and 0.625-inch rod diameter dimensions suit standard die set configurations. Light-duty applications typically involve lower-force requirements where longer cycle life and smooth deflection are priorities. This part ships individually and is also suitable for maintenance replenishment of existing die assemblies.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic loading
• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load capacity per coil versus round wire
• Maximum deflection load of 508 pounds at 1.61 inches of travel
• Spring rate of 314 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Green color coding indicates light-duty rating per standard die spring classification
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard light-duty die spring for use in press tooling and stamping die assemblies requiring a 1.25-inch hole diameter, 0.625-inch rod diameter, and 2.5-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or industrial maintenance mechanics during die maintenance or new tooling assembly. Always relieve all press pressure and lock out the press before accessing die components. Verify that the rod diameter and hole diameter clearances match the existing die set before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond the rated maximum deflection to avoid permanent set or premature failure.
