It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section that increases load-bearing surface area compared to round-wire springs, making it well suited for cyclic compression loads. The spring has a 0.5-inch hole diameter, a 9\/32-inch rod diameter, a 2-inch free length, and a maximum deflection load of 55 pounds. Manufactured from chromium alloy steel, it delivers consistent performance under repeated compression cycles. The blue color coding identifies it as a medium-duty rating per standard die spring classification conventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is intended for use in metal stamping, injection mold tooling, press tooling, and similar industrial die and fixture applications. It fits over a 9\/32-inch guide rod and seats into a 0.5-inch pocket. Typical installers include tool and die makers, mold technicians, and maintenance machinists working in manufacturing and fabrication environments. The 2-inch free length suits compact die sets where space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity relative to spring size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5-inch hole diameter and 9\/32-inch rod diameter for precise rod and pocket fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e55-pound maximum deflection load with 1-inch maximum deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 55 pounds per inch for predictable, linear compression behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for wear and fatigue resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue color coding identifies medium-duty classification at a glance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment die spring for medium-duty stamping die and punch press tooling applications requiring a 0.5-inch hole diameter and 9\/32-inch rod diameter with a 2-inch free length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie springs should be installed by qualified tool and die technicians or maintenance machinists familiar with press tooling assembly. Ensure the mating rod diameter and pocket bore match the spring specifications before installation to prevent binding or misalignment. De-energize and lock out the press or tooling equipment before servicing any die components. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1 inch, as over-compression accelerates fatigue failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium-Duty\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\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANAB Accredited; ISO 9001:2008 Certified; ISO\/TS 16949:2009 Certified; TUV Rheinland Registered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161905\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 103-208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASSOCIATED SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52016065478962,"sku":"103-208","price":15.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/584f6e9f8e194a3553abc334edeb4032.jpg?v=1790008327","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/associated-spring-raymond-103-208-die-spring-medium-duty-blue","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
