It features a 0.5 inch hole diameter, a 9\/32 inch rod diameter, and a 6.5 inch free length. The spring is manufactured from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, which provides a higher load capacity in a compact envelope compared to round-wire springs. The blue color coding indicates a light-to-medium load category. Maximum deflection load is 45.5 pounds with a maximum deflection of 3.25 inches and a spring rate of 14.00 pounds per inch. Installation is handled by toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance technicians working in metal fabrication environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is suited for use in stamping and forming dies, injection mold assemblies, and other precision tooling where controlled spring force and consistent return stroke are required. The blue designation places it in the lighter-load range of the die spring spectrum, making it appropriate for applications where moderate force and longer stroke travel are needed. It is sold individually and is a direct-fit form for standard die spring pockets accepting a 0.5 inch bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load density versus standard round-wire die springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance and extended service life in cyclic tooling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlue color coding identifies light-load rating per industry die spring classification standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection load of 45.5 pounds at 3.25 inches of travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 14.00 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force application\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 direct-fit die spring for standard tooling pockets requiring a 0.5 inch hole diameter and 9\/32 inch rod diameter with a 6.5 inch free length in the blue load category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDie springs are installed and serviced by toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance personnel following shop safety lockout\/tagout procedures before working on any press tooling. Ensure the die pocket bore and rod diameter match the spring specifications before installation. Never compress the spring beyond the rated maximum deflection of 3.25 inches, as over-compression leads to premature fatigue failure. Inspect the spring for set, cracking, or deformation at regular tooling maintenance intervals.\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: 0.28125 inches (9\/32)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.00 pounds per inch\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: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\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: 103-226\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASSOCIATED SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51973544083762,"sku":"103-226","price":25.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/caadde27db691c6f39e74b19d1e4ea17.jpg?v=1789973619","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/associated-spring-raymond-103-226-die-spring-blue","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
