Associated Spring Raymond 103-112 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-112 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and precision tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire shape that delivers higher load capacity relative to round-wire springs of the same size. The spring has a 3/8-inch hole diameter, a 3/16-inch rod diameter, and a 3-inch free length. Maximum deflection is 1.5 inches under a maximum load of 31.5 pounds, with a spring rate of 21.00 pounds per inch. Constructed from chromium alloy steel, the blue color coding indicates medium-duty service class for quick identification in multi-spring tooling setups.

This die spring is suited for industrial press tooling, injection mold assemblies, and mechanical fixtures that require consistent, repeatable return force. The compact form factor makes it appropriate for tight die sets where space is limited. It is typically installed and serviced by tool-and-die makers, machinist trades, or maintenance technicians working on stamping and forming equipment.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load density compared to standard round-wire die springs
• Blue color coding denotes medium-duty rating for fast visual identification
• 3-inch free length with 1.5-inch maximum deflection for predictable stroke performance
• Spring rate of 21.00 pounds per inch for consistent return force
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability in high-cycle tooling environments
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment die spring for medium-duty stamping dies, punch press tooling, and precision mold assemblies requiring a 3/8-inch hole diameter and 3/16-inch rod diameter with a 3-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tool-and-die maker or maintenance machinist with the press or tooling fully de-energized and all stored mechanical energy released before disassembly. Ensure the rod diameter and hole diameter of the die set match the 3/16-inch rod and 3/8-inch hole specifications before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated 1.5-inch maximum deflection, as exceeding this limit will reduce service life and can cause premature failure.
