Die springs are heavy-duty, rectangular wire compression springs specifically engineered for applications requiring **high loads in restricted spaces** and demanding high fatigue life. They are often color-coded to indicate load rating—from light to extra heavy—allowing for easy selection and installation in progressive dies, heavy machinery, clutches, and brakes. Due to their rectangular cross-section, they can support significantly higher forces than standard round-wire compression springs of the same size.
Our die springs are manufactured from chrome-alloy steel, providing superior durability and performance under heavy dynamic loads. They are categorized into four standard load ratings—Medium, Heavy, Extra-Heavy, and Super-Heavy—to meet precise application requirements in metal forming and industrial stamping machinery.
Characteristics: Rectangular wire, high tensile strength chrome-alloy steel, shot-peened for fatigue resistance.
Measurements: Hole Diameter (ID): 6.3 mm – 60 mm. Rod Diameter (OD): 10 mm – 80 mm. Free Length: 25 mm – 305 mm.
Configurations: Four standard load classes (Medium, Heavy, Extra-Heavy, Super-Heavy).
Key Parameters: Load rating (color-coded), recommended deflection, rectangular wire dimension, block height.
Rate or Stiffness: Extremely high stiffness, ranging from 50 N/mm to over 500 N/mm.
Unit of Measure: mm, N/mm, deflection percentage.
Service Life: High fatigue life: up to 1,000,000 cycles at lower deflection ranges.
Tolerances: +/- 5% on load at 75% deflection, DIN ISO 10243 compliance.
Applications: Die casting equipment, stamping presses, molding machinery, friction clutches, and brakes.
