It features a 1-inch hole diameter, a 0.5-inch rod diameter, and a 3-inch free length, making it a standard-size component for die sets requiring consistent, reliable return force. Constructed from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 353 pounds at 1.26 inches of travel. The blue color coding identifies it as a medium-duty rating per ISO and NAAMS standards. Toolmakers, die setters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of component in production tooling environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for stamping, forming, and blanking die applications in both production and maintenance settings. Its medium-duty rating makes it appropriate for moderate-load cycling applications where consistent spring force and dimensional repeatability are required. The trapezoidal wire profile increases load capacity relative to round wire springs of the same envelope size, which is an advantage in compact die spaces. Sold individually, it is a direct fit for standard die spring pockets calling for a 1-inch hole diameter and 0.5-inch guide rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch hole diameter and 0.5-inch rod diameter for standard die spring pocket fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch free length with 1.26 inches of maximum deflection travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e353-pound maximum deflection load rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load density in compact tooling envelopes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue color coding per NAAMS and ISO 10243 medium-duty designation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for standard die spring applications requiring a 1-inch hole diameter, 0.5-inch rod diameter, and 3-inch free length in medium-duty press and stamping tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians with the press fully de-energized and ram safely blocked. Inspect the die pocket and guide rod for wear or damage before installing a new spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.26 inches, as over-compression will permanently reduce spring rate and service life. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and tooling manufacturer guidelines during die disassembly and reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.26 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 353 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 280 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length at Maximum Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.26 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trapezoidal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chromium Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAAMS, ISO 10243, ISO 9001:2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: DCIM25-76\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701119123762,"sku":"DCIM25-76","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ab655e33fd809fdbdef719b025a9c9d0.jpg?v=1788398418","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcim25-76-die-spring-medium-duty-blue","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
