Gibraltar DCIL40-254 Die Spring 10 Inches Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL40-254 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and precision tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 553.00 pounds over a maximum deflection of 5.13 inches. The free length is 10 inches, with a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter and a 3/4 inch rod diameter. The green color coding identifies it as a light-duty rating per industry standards. This part is installed by tool and die makers, press operators, and industrial maintenance technicians working with stamping and forming equipment.

This die spring is suited for use in stamping dies, injection molds, and other tooling assemblies that require controlled, repeatable spring force at a light-duty load level. It fits over a 3/4 inch guide rod and seats within a 1-1/2 inch bore. Its 10 inch free length and 5.13 inch maximum deflection make it appropriate for tooling setups requiring a moderate stroke range under controlled compression loads.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated cycling
• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load capacity relative to round wire at the same duty rating
• 553.00 pound maximum deflection load with a spring rate of 108.00 pounds per inch
• 5.13 inch maximum deflection from a 10 inch free length
• Green color coding denotes light-duty rating per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for stamping dies, molds, and precision tooling assemblies requiring a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter, 3/4 inch rod diameter, and 10 inch free length at a light-duty rating.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Before servicing any press or die assembly, relieve all hydraulic and mechanical pressure and lock out the press per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the guide rod diameter and bore diameter match the spring specifications before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as doing so will reduce service life and may cause premature failure.
