Gibraltar DCIL50-64 Die Spring 2in Hole 1in Rod 2-1/2in Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL50-64 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and similar tooling applications. It features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and a free length of 2.5 inches. Constructed from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers consistent force characteristics over repeated compression cycles. The green color coding identifies its light-duty rating per industry convention. With a maximum deflection load of 1,386 pounds and a maximum deflection of 1.63 inches, it suits lower-force die and fixture applications. Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or maintenance machinists during die assembly or repair.

This spring is suited for use in stamping dies, injection molds, progressive dies, and general tooling fixtures where controlled spring force and reliable cycle life are required. The light-duty rating makes it appropriate for applications demanding moderate load with longer travel. It meets NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional standards, which broadens its interchangeability within tooling systems designed to those specs. It weighs approximately 0.74 pounds and ships as a single-piece package.

Key Features

• Light-duty rating with green color code for quick field identification
• Trapezoidal wire shape improves load capacity and cycle life compared to round wire
• Maximum deflection load of 1,386 pounds at 1.63 inches of travel
• Spring rate of 848 pounds per inch for predictable force response
• Chromium alloy steel construction for hardness and fatigue resistance
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for stamping dies, molds, and tooling fixtures conforming to NAAMS or ISO 10243 dimensional standards for light-duty die springs with a 2-inch hole diameter and 1-inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Before servicing any die or mold assembly, ensure the press is locked out and all stored energy in the tooling is fully released. The spring should be seated concentrically on the rod and within the pocket to prevent side-loading, which reduces fatigue life. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.63 inches.
