Associated Spring Raymond 103-416 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-416 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and industrial tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire shape and is manufactured from chromium alloy steel for consistent force output and long cycle life under repeated compression. The spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 144 pounds over a maximum deflection of 2 inches, with a spring rate of 75 pounds per inch. The blue color coding identifies it as a medium-duty grade per standard die spring classification. It is installed by toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance technicians working on press tooling and injection mold assemblies.

This spring is suited for medium-duty cycling applications in stamping dies, progressive dies, and similar industrial tooling where controlled, repeatable spring force is required. The 0.75 inch hole diameter and 0.375 inch rod diameter make it compatible with standard die set configurations using guide rods and retainer pockets machined to those dimensions. It is appropriate for both OEM die builds and field replacement of worn or fatigued springs in production tooling environments.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity per unit length compared to round-wire springs of the same size
• Chromium alloy steel construction supports extended fatigue life in high-cycle press applications
• Blue color coding indicates medium-duty rating for easy visual identification during tooling maintenance
• 144 pound maximum deflection load with 2 inches maximum deflection at a 75 pound-per-inch spring rate
• Conforms to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 quality standards as well as TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for stamping dies, injection molds, and industrial tooling assemblies requiring a medium-duty die spring with a 0.75 inch hole diameter and 0.375 inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified toolmakers or maintenance technicians with the press or machine fully de-energized, ram locked, and tooling safely supported. Inspect the retainer pocket and guide rod for wear or damage before installing a replacement spring. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 2 inches, as over-compression accelerates fatigue failure and can cause spring fracture.
