Associated Spring Raymond 103-814 Die Spring 2in Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-814 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and industrial tooling applications. It features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and a free length of 3.5 inches. Wound from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a maximum deflection load of 1,134 pounds and a spring rate of 677 pounds per inch. The blue color coding indicates a heavy load classification per standard die spring conventions. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This die spring is suited for use in hydraulic and mechanical press tooling, stripper plate assemblies, and component ejection systems where consistent, repeatable force is required. The 3.5-inch free length and 1.75-inch maximum deflection make it appropriate for moderate-stroke tooling setups. It is commonly installed in both OEM die sets and custom fabricated tooling across general manufacturing, metal forming, and stamping operations.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity compared to round-wire springs of equivalent size
• Maximum deflection load of 1,134 pounds at 1.75 inches of deflection
• Spring rate of 677 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable force delivery
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic loading
• Blue color code identifies heavy load classification for easy field identification
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for stamping and punch press tooling requiring a 2-inch hole diameter, 1-inch rod diameter, and 3.5-inch free length in a heavy-duty blue load class.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers or qualified industrial maintenance personnel. De-energize and lock out all press and hydraulic systems before disassembling tooling or replacing springs. Ensure the rod and bore dimensions of the die set match the spring specifications before installation to prevent misalignment under load. Do not compress the spring beyond the rated maximum deflection of 1.75 inches to avoid permanent set or premature fatigue failure.
