Which Accessory Do You Need?
Select the accessory based on what problem you're solving in your die spring assembly:
Protect Die Plates from Spring Wear
Spring end surfaces grind into plate surfaces over millions of cycles, creating pits and dimensional loss.
Prevent Spring Lateral Migration
Springs shift sideways in oversized bores, causing uneven force distribution and accelerated wear.
Contain Broken Spring Fragments
Broken heavy-duty die springs produce high-energy fragments that can jam the die or injure operators.
Fix Spring Position During Die Changes
Springs fall out or shift position when the die is opened, requiring manual repositioning during setup.
Elevate Strip Between Progressive Die Stations
Metal strip needs to be lifted between stations to advance without dragging on the die surface.
Accessory rule: At minimum, every die spring assembly should include washers. Add guide pins for Ø10+ springs. Add cages/guards for heavy and extra heavy duty. For detailed sizing, see our Why You Need Spring Accessories — Washers, Guide Pins, and Cages Explained.
