Gibraltar DCIL40-114 Die Spring Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL40-114 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and industrial tooling applications. It features a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter, a 3/4 inch rod diameter, and a free length of 4-1/2 inches. Constructed from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 571 pounds and a maximum deflection of 2.31 inches. The green color coding identifies it as a light-duty rating per standard die spring classification. It is installed by tool and die makers, machine maintenance technicians, and industrial equipment specialists.

This die spring is suited for use in press tooling, injection molds, stamping dies, and similar industrial machinery where consistent spring force and repeatable travel are required. The trapezoidal wire profile and chromium alloy steel construction support reliable performance under cyclic loading in both light production and maintenance tooling environments. It ships as a single unit and is compatible with standard die set configurations that use a 1-1/2 inch bore and 3/4 inch guide rod.

Key Features

• Light-duty rating with green color coding for quick identification per industry convention
• 1-1/2 inch hole diameter and 3/4 inch rod diameter for standard die set fitment
• 4-1/2 inch free length with 2.31 inches of maximum deflection travel
• Maximum deflection load of 571 pounds (2540.95 N)
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity in a compact envelope compared to round wire
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic compression
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or new-build die spring for tooling applications using a 1-1/2 inch bore and 3/4 inch guide rod, conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by qualified tool and die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Always relieve all press or tooling pressure and lock out the machine before removing or replacing die springs. Do not compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as overtravel can cause coil bind and premature failure. Inspect the mating guide rod and bore for wear or misalignment before installation.
