Associated Spring Raymond 103-714 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-714 is a medium-duty die spring engineered for use in tooling, stamping dies, and industrial press applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, it delivers a spring rate of 300 pounds per inch and handles a maximum deflection load of 525 pounds over a maximum deflection of 1.75 inches. The free length is 3.5 inches, with a 1.5-inch hole diameter and a 0.75-inch rod diameter. The blue color coding follows the ISO standard for medium-duty die springs, making identification and replacement straightforward on the shop floor.

This die spring is suited for medium-duty press tool assemblies, punch and die sets, and stripper plate applications in manufacturing environments. The trapezoidal wire cross-section increases load-bearing surface area compared to round wire, supporting consistent performance across repeated compression cycles. Toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance machinists typically handle installation and replacement in production tooling.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated load cycles
• Trapezoidal wire shape increases load capacity relative to round wire
• Spring rate of 300 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection response
• Blue color code identifies medium-duty rating per ISO die spring standards
• Maximum deflection load of 525 pounds with 1.75 inches maximum deflection
• 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 and punch die tooling applications requiring a 1.5-inch hole diameter, 0.75-inch rod diameter, and 3.5-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified toolmakers or maintenance personnel with the press fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the spring seat, rod, and bore for wear or damage before installing the new spring. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 1.75 inches, as over-compression accelerates fatigue failure. Ensure the rod diameter and hole diameter of the tooling match the spring specifications before fitment.
