Associated Spring Raymond 103-622 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-622 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and other high-cycle tooling applications. It features a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, a 5/8 inch rod diameter, and a free length of 5-1/2 inches. The blue color designation indicates a medium-to-heavy load rating, with a maximum deflection load of 352 pounds and a maximum deflection of 2.75 inches. Constructed from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers consistent force output and extended service life under repetitive compressive loads. It is sold individually and suited for precise tooling setups that demand reliable spring performance.

This die spring is intended for industrial tooling environments where controlled load and deflection characteristics are critical. Typical applications include metal stamping dies, injection mold assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and mechanical press tooling. The blue color code identifies it within a standardized load-class system used across the die spring industry, allowing straightforward cross-referencing when selecting replacements or building new tooling setups. It is installed by tool and die makers, machine maintenance technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working in manufacturing and fabrication settings.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter for precise fitment in standard die spring pockets
• 5-1/2 inch free length provides generous working travel for deep-draw or long-stroke tooling
• 352 pound maximum deflection load with 2.75 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 128 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section maximizes load capacity within a compact envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance in repetitive-cycle applications
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 standards with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for industrial tooling applications requiring a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, 5/8 inch rod diameter, and blue load-class rating in standard die spring pocket configurations.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by qualified tool and die makers or industrial maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press or machine before servicing tooling components. Ensure the spring pocket depth and rod diameter match the specified dimensions before installation to prevent buckling or misalignment under load. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 2.75 inches, as over-compression will permanently damage the spring and reduce service life.
