Associated Spring Raymond 103-812 Die Spring 2in Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-812 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and press applications. It features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and a free length of 3 inches. Wound from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, this blue-coded spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 1,245 pounds and a maximum deflection of 1.5 inches. The blue color classification indicates a heavy load rating within the standard die spring spectrum. The spring rate of 830 pounds per inch provides predictable, consistent force across the deflection range, making it suitable for demanding stamping, forming, and die-set environments.

This die spring is used in metal stamping dies, punch presses, injection molds, and similar industrial tooling setups where repeatable spring force and long cycle life are required. It is installed by tool and die makers, press maintenance technicians, and mechanical engineers working on production tooling. The blue load class targets applications requiring heavy force in a compact envelope, and the standardized hole and rod dimensions allow straightforward drop-in use in common die sets and guide pin assemblies.

Key Features

• Heavy load blue classification with a 1,245-pound maximum deflection load
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity compared to round-wire springs of the same envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under high-cycle operation
• Spring rate of 830 pounds per inch for linear, predictable force output
• Standardized 2-inch hole diameter and 1-inch rod diameter for compatibility with common die set configurations
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation die spring for heavy-load tooling applications requiring a 2-inch hole diameter, 1-inch rod diameter, and 3-inch free length in the blue load category.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed and replaced by qualified tool and die technicians or press maintenance personnel. Always de-energize and lock out the press before servicing any die components. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.5 inches, as exceeding this limit accelerates fatigue and can cause premature failure. Inspect the mating rod and hole surfaces for burrs or misalignment before installation to prevent uneven loading.
