Gibraltar DCIM25-152 Die Spring 1in Hole 6in Blue Medium

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIM25-152 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and industrial tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, this spring delivers a spring rate of 136 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 347 pounds. It has a free length of 6 inches, a 1-inch hole diameter, and a 0.5-inch rod diameter, making it a standard fit for guided die spring assemblies. Maximum deflection is 2.56 inches. The blue color code identifies it as a medium-duty grade per international die spring standards. This part is typically installed by toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance technicians in manufacturing environments.

The DCIM25-152 is suited for compression applications in metal stamping dies, injection molds, and similar guided spring assemblies where repeatable load performance and compact fitment are required. The trapezoidal wire cross-section increases active coil volume compared to round wire, supporting higher load capacity within the same outer diameter envelope. This spring is appropriate for both new die builds and replacement of worn or fatigued springs in existing tooling.

Key Features

• Medium-duty blue color code per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards for easy duty-grade identification
• Trapezoidal wire shape maximizes load capacity within the standard outer diameter
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated compression cycles
• Spring rate of 136 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable deflection behavior
• Maximum deflection load of 347 pounds at 2.56 inches of travel
• Compliant with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registered quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for standard guided die spring assemblies requiring a 1-inch hole diameter, 0.5-inch rod diameter, and 6-inch free length in medium-duty applications.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed and serviced by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Always relieve all press load and lock out the press before removing or replacing die springs. Inspect the guide rod and bore for wear or damage before installing a new spring. Do not compress this spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as over-compression will shorten service life and can cause spring failure.
