Associated Spring Raymond 103-824 Die Spring Blue Medium Duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 103-824 is a medium-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial fixture applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers consistent return force across repeated compression cycles. The spring features a 2 inch hole diameter, a 1 inch rod diameter, and a 6 inch free length. Maximum deflection load is 1,170 pounds at 3 inches of deflection, yielding a spring rate of 390 pounds per inch. Color-coded blue to indicate medium-duty classification, making it easy to identify during die maintenance and changeouts.

This die spring is suited for metal stamping presses, injection mold tooling, punch and die sets, and other industrial machinery where repeatable, controlled spring force is required. It is a direct-fit replacement or new-build component for toolmakers, die makers, and maintenance technicians working with standard-specification die spring bores. The blue color code aligns with international die spring standards for medium-duty load ranges, simplifying selection and cross-referencing across tooling inventories.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance under repeated cycling
• Trapezoidal wire shape maximizes load capacity within the spring envelope
• Blue color coding identifies medium-duty classification at a glance
• 1,170 pound maximum deflection load at 3 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 390 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard medium-duty die spring for tooling applications requiring a 2 inch hole diameter, 1 inch rod diameter, and 6 inch free length. Compatible with any die set or press fixture built to accept these standard bore and rod dimensions.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement is typically performed by toolmakers or maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press before accessing the die set. Ensure the rod and bore surfaces are clean and free of burrs before seating the spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 3 inches, as overtravel will reduce fatigue life and may cause premature failure.
