Associated Spring Raymond 103-105 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-105 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and tooling fixtures where consistent, reliable force is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, this spring delivers a spring rate of 50.00 pounds per inch and handles a maximum deflection load of 33.80 pounds at a maximum deflection of 0.63 inches. The blue color coding indicates medium-duty classification, making it easy to identify and sort in tool crib environments. Tool and die makers, mold technicians, and press maintenance professionals specify this part for repeatable performance in precision tooling applications.

This die spring fits applications requiring a 3/8 inch hole diameter and a 3/16 inch rod diameter, with a free length of 1-1/4 inches. It is suited for use in injection molds, stamping dies, jigs, and fixtures across both production and maintenance shop environments. The compact free length makes it appropriate for die sets with limited pocket depth. It is sold individually and is well-suited for single-unit replacement in tool maintenance situations.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for strength and fatigue resistance in cyclic loading
• Trapezoidal wire shape increases load capacity relative to round wire at the same outside diameter
• Blue color coding denotes medium-duty rating for fast visual identification
• Spring rate of 50.00 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear force output
• Maximum deflection load of 33.80 pounds at 0.63 inches of travel
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for stamping dies, injection molds, and tooling fixtures that accept a 3/8 inch hole diameter and a 3/16 inch rod diameter with a 1-1/4 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by tool and die makers or press maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press or mold before replacing die springs. Ensure the spring pocket diameter and rod diameter match the spring specifications before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as over-compression can cause premature fatigue failure and create a safety hazard.
