Gibraltar DCIL50-254 Die Spring 10 in Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL50-254 is a light-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, molds, and industrial tooling applications. It features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and a 10-inch free length. Constructed from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 1,289 pounds and a maximum deflection of 6.33 inches. The green color coding indicates its light-duty classification, allowing technicians and toolmakers to quickly identify the spring rate at a glance on the shop floor.

This die spring is suited for use in industrial press tooling, injection mold assemblies, and automated stamping equipment where consistent spring force and dimensional accuracy are required. It is appropriate for both OEM tooling builds and maintenance replacement in manufacturing environments. Toolmakers, mold technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers. The spring meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards, making it suitable for automotive and precision manufacturing supply chains.

Key Features

• Light-duty classification with green color coding for fast identification
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity relative to standard round-wire springs
• Maximum deflection load of 1,289 pounds (5,736 newtons)
• Maximum deflection of 6.33 inches
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance in cyclic loading applications
• Compliant with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for industrial stamping dies, injection molds, and press tooling that accept a 2-inch outer diameter die spring with a 1-inch rod diameter and 10-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified toolmakers or industrial maintenance technicians. Before servicing any press or mold assembly, ensure the machine is fully de-energized, hydraulic pressure is relieved, and all safety locks are engaged per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Verify rod and hole clearances match the spring specifications before seating. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 6.33 inches to avoid permanent set or premature failure.
