Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 694.00 pounds across a maximum deflection of 1.82 inches. The 4-1\/2-inch free length, 1-1\/2-inch hole diameter, and 3\/4-inch rod diameter make it a direct fit for standard die set configurations. The blue color coding indicates medium-duty load classification per industry standards. This part is installed by tool and die makers, maintenance machinists, and press technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for industrial tooling environments including metal stamping, forming, and punching operations. It is used in die sets where a guided spring operating over a rod or inside a bore is required to maintain consistent pressure or return force during press cycling. The medium-duty rating positions it between light and heavy classifications, making it appropriate for moderate-load tooling where controlled deflection and predictable spring rate are critical to die performance and part quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire profile increases load capacity and fatigue life compared to round wire springs of equivalent size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection load of 694.00 pounds with a spring rate of 382.00 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection of 1.82 inches with a travel to solid load of 1.8071 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue color coding identifies medium-duty load class at a glance\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 a standard replacement die spring for medium-duty tooling applications requiring a 1-1\/2-inch hole diameter, 3\/4-inch rod diameter, and 4-1\/2-inch free length configuration per NAAMS and ISO 10243 specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by qualified tool and die technicians or maintenance machinists during die set assembly or scheduled die maintenance. Before servicing a die set, ensure the press is fully de-energized, locked out, and the ram is blocked in the down position per applicable OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. The spring should be seated squarely over the guide rod and within the counterbore without lateral preload. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection during setup or operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches (0.7500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 694.00 pounds (3088.30 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.82 inches (46.23 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel To Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.8071 inches (45.90 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 382.00 pounds per inch\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\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8242 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: DCIM40-114\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716167860530,"sku":"DCIM40-114","price":28.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dcf5248b6fd38a5ca2f440e13fff83f0.jpg?v=1788522709","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcim40-114-die-spring-4-1-2-in-medium-duty-blue","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
