Associated Spring Raymond 103-314 Die Spring Medium-duty Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-314 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and other industrial tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers consistent force under cyclic compression loads. The spring measures 0.625 inches in hole diameter, 0.34375 inches in rod diameter, and 3.5 inches in free length. It carries a maximum deflection load of 84 pounds at a maximum deflection of 1.75 inches, with a spring rate of 50 pounds per inch. The blue color coding identifies it as a medium-duty rating per standard die spring classification conventions. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This die spring is suited for medium-duty tooling environments in both production and maintenance settings. It fits standard die sets where a 0.625-inch hole diameter and 0.34375-inch rod diameter are required. Typical applications include metal stamping dies, injection mold assemblies, jigs, and fixtures that require repeatable spring-back force. The 3.5-inch free length accommodates moderate stroke requirements within a compact tooling envelope.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under high-cycle fatigue conditions
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity relative to wire volume compared to round wire
• 84-pound maximum deflection load at 1.75 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 50 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Blue color coding identifies medium-duty rating per standard die spring classification
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment die spring for tooling applications requiring a 0.625-inch hole diameter, 0.34375-inch rod diameter, and 3.5-inch free length in a medium-duty blue classification.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation is typically performed by tool-and-die makers or qualified maintenance personnel. Ensure the mating die set pocket and guide rod dimensions match the spring hole diameter and rod diameter before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.75 inches, as over-compression causes permanent set and premature failure. Always relieve all tooling pressure and lock out the press before accessing or replacing die springs.
