Associated Spring Raymond 103-607 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-607 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial machinery applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a rated maximum deflection load of 371 pounds and a spring rate of 406 pounds per inch. The blue color coding indicates medium-duty classification per industry standard die spring conventions. It is typically installed by toolmakers, machine builders, and maintenance technicians working on press tooling and fixture systems.

This die spring suits medium-duty stamping and forming die applications where consistent return force and reliable cycle life are required. The 1-1/4 inch hole diameter accommodates standard die spring pockets, and the 5/8 inch rod diameter fits standard guide rods used in press tool assemblies. At 1-3/4 inches free length, it fits compact die sets and tooling plates where space is limited.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire profile provides higher load capacity per unit length compared to round wire springs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated compression cycles
• Blue color coding identifies medium-duty rating per standard die spring classification
• Maximum deflection of 0.88 inches at a load of 371 pounds
• Spring rate of 406 pounds per inch for predictable, consistent force output
• 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 stamping dies, forming tools, and press fixtures requiring a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter configuration.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified toolmakers or maintenance technicians familiar with press tooling safety procedures. Always de-energize and lock out the press before removing or installing die springs. Do not compress this spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.88 inches, as over-compression will reduce service life and can cause premature failure. Inspect the spring seat pocket and guide rod for wear or damage before installation.
