Manufactured from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers consistent load characteristics and extended fatigue life compared to standard round-wire springs. The blue color coding indicates medium-duty rating per ISO 10243 and NAAMS standards. Key load values are a maximum deflection load of 55 pounds and a maximum deflection of 0.83 inches, with a spring rate of 67 pounds per inch. Installation is performed by toolmakers, die makers, and maintenance technicians working on press tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die spring fits standard die sets and tooling plates with a 0.375-inch hole diameter and accommodates a 0.1875-inch guide rod. The 1.5-inch free length and 0.83-inch compressed length at maximum load make it suitable for moderate-stroke applications in metal stamping, forming, and stripping operations. Its medium-duty rating positions it between light-duty (red) and heavy-duty (green) classifications, covering a broad range of general-purpose tooling scenarios in both job shop and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section increases contact area and service life over round-wire designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlue color coding identifies medium-duty rating per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for high strength and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection load of 55 pounds with a spring rate of 67 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompressed length at maximum load of 0.83 inches supports precise stroke planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 registered quality standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement die spring for standard tooling plates and die sets requiring a 0.375-inch hole diameter and a 0.1875-inch guide rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDie springs are installed by toolmakers or qualified maintenance technicians with all press energy fully dissipated and the ram locked out before service. The guide rod should be clean and free of burrs to prevent side loading and premature fatigue. Springs should never be compressed beyond their rated maximum deflection, as exceeding this value accelerates failure. Inspect for coil cracking or set at scheduled die maintenance intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.83 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 67 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length at Maximum Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.83 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trapezoidal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chromium Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0158 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAAMS, ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015 Registered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161905\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCIM10-38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710896636210,"sku":"DCIM10-38","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c8150e82b5dca5dbd3c88d7e4dfa7e81.jpg?v=1788472028","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcim10-38-die-spring-blue-medium-duty","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
