Gibraltar DCIL50-102 Die Spring 4 Inch Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL50-102 is a light-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, molds, and industrial press tooling. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a spring rate of 516 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 1266 pounds. It features a 4-inch free length, a 2-inch hole diameter, and a 1-inch rod diameter. The green color coding follows industry-standard light-duty classification, making identification straightforward during die maintenance. Machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This die spring is suited for light-duty press and die applications in manufacturing and fabrication environments, including automotive tooling, metal stamping, and injection mold assemblies. It is designed to provide consistent return force and repeatable compression travel in high-cycle die sets. The 2.45-inch maximum deflection and a compressed length at maximum load of 2.45 inches make it appropriate for applications where controlled, predictable spring travel is required under moderate load conditions.

Key Features

• Light-duty classification with green color coding for easy identification
• Chromium alloy steel construction with trapezoidal wire shape for uniform load distribution
• 516 pounds per inch spring rate with a maximum deflection load of 1266 pounds
• Maximum deflection of 2.45 inches (62.23 mm)
• Compliant with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards
• 4-inch free length with 2-inch hole diameter and 1-inch rod diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard die spring for light-duty industrial stamping and molding applications conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tool and die makers or industrial maintenance technicians. Ensure the die set is fully de-energized and the press ram is secured or blocked before replacing any die springs. Verify that the rod diameter and hole diameter clearances match the die pocket and guide pin dimensions before seating the spring. Inspect mating surfaces for wear or damage that could cause uneven loading or premature spring fatigue.
