Associated Spring Raymond 103-710 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-710 is a medium-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, jigs, fixtures, and tooling applications that demand consistent, repeatable force. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 562.5 pounds and a spring rate of 427 pounds per inch. The free length measures 2.5 inches, the hole diameter is 1.5 inches, and the rod diameter is 0.75 inches. The blue color coding indicates medium-duty classification per standard die spring grading conventions. Toolmakers, die setters, and machine builders specify this part where reliable return force and long service life are required under cyclic load conditions.

This die spring is suited for installation in punch and die assemblies, progressive dies, mold strippers, and automated fixture applications in manufacturing environments. The 1.5-inch hole diameter and 0.75-inch rod diameter allow direct mounting over standard guide rods or inside standard die spring pockets. Maximum deflection is rated at 1.25 inches, making it appropriate for medium-stroke tooling setups in both OEM and aftermarket industrial tooling configurations.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under high-cycle compressive loads
• Trapezoidal wire shape increases load capacity and fatigue resistance compared to round wire profiles
• Maximum deflection load of 562.5 pounds at 1.25 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 427 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Blue color coding identifies medium-duty rating for fast visual identification during die setup
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for standard die spring pockets and guide rod assemblies requiring a 1.5-inch hole diameter and 0.75-inch rod diameter with a 2.5-inch free length in medium-duty tooling applications.

Installation Notes

Die spring replacement and installation is performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Always relieve all mechanical pressure and lockout the press or machine before removing or installing die springs. Inspect the guide rod and spring pocket for wear, galling, or misalignment before seating the new spring. Do not compress this spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.25 inches, as over-compression accelerates fatigue failure.
