Gibraltar DCIM32-89 Die Spring Medium-duty Blue

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIM32-89 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and other industrial tooling applications where consistent, repeatable spring force is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 531.00 pounds and a spring rate of 345.0 pounds per inch. It features a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, a 5/8 inch rod diameter, and a 3-1/2 inch free length, making it straightforward to size and install in standard die sets. The blue color designation identifies the medium-duty load category in accordance with industry standards.

This die spring is suited for general industrial tooling environments including metal stamping dies, injection molds, and mechanical presses. It is appropriate for applications requiring controlled, predictable spring return force over repeated compression cycles. Maintenance technicians and toolmakers working in manufacturing and fabrication settings typically install and replace this type of spring during die maintenance or rebuild operations.

Key Features

• Medium-duty load rating with a maximum deflection load of 531.00 pounds
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity in a compact envelope compared to round wire springs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability and fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
• 3-1/2 inch free length with a maximum deflection of 1.54 inches and a compressed solid length of 1.54 inches
• Blue color coding for quick visual identification of medium-duty duty class
• Compliant with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registered quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement die spring for industrial tooling applications conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 specifications with a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Die spring replacement is typically performed by toolmakers or maintenance technicians during scheduled die maintenance or after spring fatigue failure. Always relieve all mechanical and hydraulic pressure from the die set before removing or installing springs. Inspect the rod and housing bore for wear or damage that could cause misalignment and premature spring failure. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.54 inches, as over-compression will reduce service life.
