Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers consistent force characteristics and long service life under repetitive compression loads. It features a 0.5 inch hole diameter, a 9\/32 inch rod diameter, a 12 inch free length, and a maximum deflection of 6 inches. The blue color coding identifies its medium-duty rating per industry convention. With a maximum deflection load of 42 pounds and a spring rate of 7 pounds per inch, it is sized for applications where controlled, predictable force is essential. Licensed technicians, toolmakers, and maintenance personnel install this spring as an OEM-style or replacement component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spring is suited for use in punch press tooling, injection molds, and die sets where a guided rod and bore configuration is required. The 9\/32 inch rod diameter and 0.5 inch hole diameter allow proper guidance within a standard die set boring without play. The 12 inch free length accommodates tooling assemblies requiring extended travel or pre-load range. Medium-duty classification makes it appropriate for moderate-cycle production tooling rather than extreme-duty or light-duty applications. It is installed by toolmakers, press technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals in both OEM and aftermarket tooling assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for high-cycle fatigue resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire cross-section increases load capacity relative to round wire designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue color coding identifies medium-duty rating per industry-standard classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection load of 42 pounds with a spring rate of 7 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 inch maximum deflection for extended travel range in deep die sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ISO 9001:2008, ISO\/TS 16949:2009, and TUV Rheinland quality standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for standard guided die sets and tooling assemblies requiring a 0.5 inch bore diameter and 9\/32 inch rod diameter with a 12 inch free length in the medium-duty blue classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie spring replacement and installation should be performed by qualified toolmakers or industrial maintenance technicians with the press or tooling equipment fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout\/tagout requirements. The spring must be properly guided on the rod and within the bore to prevent buckling under load. Never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as overtravel causes permanent set and rapid fatigue failure. Inspect the mating rod and bore surfaces for wear or damage before installing a new spring.\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: 0.281 inches (9\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 42 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 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\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 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: 103-248\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASSOCIATED SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52048289300786,"sku":"103-248","price":39.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e42fbe55a0834236fc4c173567984d81.jpg?v=1790032547","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/associated-spring-raymond-103-248-die-spring-blue","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
