Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, it delivers consistent force and resists fatigue under repeated compression cycles. The spring features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and a 7-inch free length. At maximum deflection of 2.96 inches, it produces a load of 1,114 pounds, with a spring rate of 376 pounds per inch. The blue color coding identifies it as a medium-duty rating per industry standards. Licensed HVAC, tooling, and industrial maintenance technicians install this part in high-cycle die and fixture applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for use in stamping dies, injection mold tooling, press fixtures, and industrial machinery requiring controlled, repeatable spring force. The medium-duty rating and trapezoidal wire cross-section make it appropriate for applications with moderate-to-high cycle counts where consistent deflection and load performance are critical. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both OEM tooling builds and field replacement of worn or fatigued springs in existing die sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire shape increases active coils per unit length for improved load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue color coding identifies medium-duty rating per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection load of 1,114 pounds at 2.96 inches of travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 376 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear force output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards for use in precision tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-format medium-duty die spring suitable for stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial fixtures accepting a 2-inch hole diameter and 1-inch guide rod, conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie spring replacement should be performed by qualified tooling or industrial maintenance technicians with the press fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Inspect the guide rod and pocket bore for wear or scoring before installing the new spring. Do not install a spring that shows cracking, set, or corrosion. Ensure the spring seats squarely on the rod and in the pocket to prevent side loading and premature failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.96 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,114 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 376 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Length at Maximum Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.96 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.161 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: DCIM50-178\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51706029375794,"sku":"DCIM50-178","price":50.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/edb352de84ed92046b12510c57edd416.jpg?v=1788432277","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-dcim50-178-die-spring-2in-hole-1in-rod-7in-blue","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
