It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section that delivers higher load capacity in a compact envelope compared to round-wire designs. The spring has a 0.5 inch hole diameter, a 4.5 inch free length, and a maximum deflection load of 56.3 pounds at 2.25 inches of travel. The blue color coding indicates a light load class per standard die spring classification. Manufactured from chromium alloy steel for durability under repeated cycling. Installation and maintenance are typically performed by tool and die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for light-load tooling applications in stamping and forming operations. The blue load class is commonly specified for applications requiring consistent return force without excessive preload. It fits standard die sets and spring pockets with a 0.5 inch bore, making it a direct drop-in for presses and progressive dies calling for this hole diameter and free length combination. Suitable for both production tooling and prototype fixtures where repeatable spring force is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load density than round-wire equivalents\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlue light-load color classification per standard die spring grading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e56.3 lb maximum deflection load at 2.25 inches maximum deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 23.0 lb per inch for predictable, linear force output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under high-cycle conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO\/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation die spring for standard tooling applications requiring a 0.5 inch hole diameter, 9\/32 inch rod diameter, and 4.5 inch free length in the blue light-load class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDie springs are installed and replaced by tool and die technicians or qualified industrial maintenance personnel. Always relieve all press and tooling pressure before removing or installing springs. Inspect the spring pocket bore and rod for wear or damage before seating the new spring. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 2.25 inches, as over-compression will accelerate fatigue failure and reduce service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 0.281 inches (9\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 56.3 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23.0 lb per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trapezoidal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue (Light Load)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chromium Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 103-218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASSOCIATED SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52040505950514,"sku":"103-218","price":19.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1a2afaf3639091108da753973fd2a9cf.jpg?v=1790027087","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/associated-spring-raymond-103-218-die-spring-blue","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
