Associated Spring Raymond 103-610 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-610 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and similar tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, this spring delivers a rated spring rate of 288 pounds per inch and handles a maximum deflection load of 360 pounds over a maximum deflection of 1.25 inches. The blue color coding identifies it as a medium-duty rating per standard die spring classification. It is installed and serviced by tooling technicians, maintenance mechanics, and industrial equipment professionals working on press tooling and die assemblies.

This die spring is suited for medium-duty press tooling, stripper plates, cam mechanisms, and other applications requiring controlled, repeatable spring force within a guided rod-and-hole assembly. The 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter define the fit envelope for the mounting configuration. The 2-1/2 inch free length accommodates standard tooling stack heights where compact spring packages are required. It is appropriate for both OEM die builds and field replacement in production tooling environments.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance under repeated cycling
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section maximizes load capacity within a compact envelope
• Blue color coding indicates medium-duty classification for quick field identification
• Spring rate of 288 pounds per inch provides consistent, predictable deflection force
• Maximum deflection load of 360 pounds at 1.25 inches of travel
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard medium-duty die spring for guided rod-and-hole assemblies with a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter in press tooling and stamping die applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tooling or maintenance technicians. Ensure the die or press assembly is fully de-energized and pressure-relieved before removing or replacing any spring components. The spring must be guided over the rod or inside the hole bore to prevent lateral buckling under load. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.25 inches, as over-compression will reduce fatigue life and may cause premature failure.
