Associated Spring Raymond 103-708 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-708 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and similar industrial tooling applications. It features a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter, a 3/4 inch rod diameter, and a 2 inch free length. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 530 pounds and a maximum deflection of 1 inch. The blue color coding identifies it as a medium-duty rating per industry convention. It is installed by tooling technicians, die setters, and maintenance machinists working in metal fabrication and stamping operations.

This die spring is suited for use in industrial press tooling, injection mold assemblies, and custom fixture applications where controlled compression force and consistent spring rate are required. It is appropriate for both OEM die builds and replacement applications in existing tooling setups. The compact 2 inch free length makes it practical for installations with limited clearance inside die plates or stripper assemblies.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch hole diameter and 3/4 inch rod diameter for standard die post fitment
• 530 pound maximum deflection load with a 530 lb/inch spring rate
• 1 inch maximum deflection travel
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity in a compact envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic compression
• Blue color coding indicates medium-duty rating for quick identification
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008, ISO/TS 16949:2009, and TUV Rheinland quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as a medium-duty OEM-style die spring for standard industrial stamping dies, punch press tooling, and fixture assemblies using a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter and 3/4 inch rod diameter configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tooling technicians or die setters. The press or machine must be fully de-energized and locked out before die disassembly or spring replacement. Verify that the rod diameter and hole diameter of the mating die components match the spring specifications before installation. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection to avoid permanent set or premature failure.
