Associated Spring Raymond 103-722 Die Spring Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-722 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and stamping applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a spring rate of 185.00 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 508.8 pounds over 2.75 inches of travel. The 1-1/2 inch hole diameter accommodates standard guide pins, while the 3/4 inch rod diameter ensures precise alignment under repeated cycling. At 5-1/2 inches free length and coded blue for load class identification, this spring is sized for medium-to-heavy die sets used in industrial press and stamping environments. Installation and maintenance are typically handled by tool and die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel.

The 103-722 is intended for use in precision die sets, punch press tooling, and similar industrial applications where consistent load and deflection characteristics are required. The blue color coding identifies this spring within a standardized load-class system, allowing technicians to select and replace components quickly during die changeovers or routine maintenance cycles. Its chromium alloy steel construction and trapezoidal wire profile resist fatigue under high-cycle compressive loads, making it suitable for production tooling environments where reliability and repeatability are critical.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction with trapezoidal wire shape for enhanced fatigue resistance under repeated compression
• Spring rate of 185.00 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable load behavior
• Maximum deflection load of 508.8 pounds at 2.75 inches of travel
• Blue color coding for quick load-class identification during die changeover
• 1-1/2 inch hole diameter and 3/4 inch rod diameter for standard guide pin and rod fitment
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008, ISO/TS 16949:2009, and TUV Rheinland quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-specification replacement or original-equipment die spring for industrial punch press and stamping die sets requiring a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter, 3/4 inch rod diameter, and 5-1/2 inch free length in the blue load class.

Installation Notes

Die spring replacement is performed by qualified tool and die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. De-energize and lock out the press before disassembling any die set. Ensure the guide pin and rod dimensions match the spring bore and rod diameter before installation to prevent misalignment and premature failure. Never compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 2.75 inches, as over-compression will shorten fatigue life significantly.
