Associated Spring Raymond 103-606 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-606 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in tooling, stamping, and press applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, it delivers a spring rate of 496 pounds per inch and handles a maximum deflection load of 372 pounds over a maximum deflection of 0.75 inches. The free length is 1.5 inches, the hole diameter is 1.25 inches, and the rod diameter is 0.625 inches. The blue color coding indicates medium-duty load class per industry standard die spring classification. This spring is installed by toolmakers, die setters, and precision fabrication technicians.

The 103-606 is suited for use in progressive dies, stamping presses, injection molds, and similar industrial tooling setups where consistent, repeatable spring force is required. Its compact 1.5-inch free length makes it appropriate for applications with limited stroke space. The blue medium-duty rating places it between light-duty and heavy-duty classifications, making it a common choice for moderate-load cycling applications in production tooling environments.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic load
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section maximizes load capacity within the spring envelope
• Blue color coding denotes medium-duty load class per standard die spring convention
• Spring rate of 496 pounds per inch provides consistent, predictable force
• Maximum deflection load of 372 pounds at 0.75 inches of travel
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for medium-duty tooling and stamping applications requiring a 1.25-inch hole diameter, 0.625-inch rod diameter, and 1.5-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians during press setup or tooling rebuild. Ensure the mating rod and bore dimensions match the spring specifications before installation to prevent binding or buckling under load. Always relieve press or tooling pressure completely before replacing springs. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and equipment lockout protocols during service.
