Associated Spring Raymond 104-207 Die Spring Red

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 104-207 is a red-coded, medium heavy-duty die spring designed for use in tooling, stamping, and press applications. It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section for increased load capacity within a compact envelope. The spring has a 0.5-inch hole diameter, a 9/32-inch rod diameter, and a 1.75-inch free length. It delivers a maximum deflection load of 55 pounds at a maximum deflection of 0.65 inches, with a spring rate of 85 pounds per inch. The chromium alloy steel construction provides durability under cyclic compressive loads in industrial die applications. Installation and maintenance are typically performed by toolmakers, press operators, or maintenance technicians.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, punch press tooling, injection mold assemblies, and similar industrial fixtures where a medium heavy-duty red-series spring is specified. The red color coding follows standard die spring duty classifications, allowing for straightforward identification and replacement during tooling changeovers. It is sold individually and fits standard die spring pockets accepting a 0.5-inch outer diameter spring.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load capacity compared to round wire springs of equivalent size
• Medium heavy-duty red duty rating for moderate-to-high load tooling applications
• 0.5-inch hole diameter and 9/32-inch rod diameter for standard die pocket fitment
• 55-pound maximum deflection load at 0.65 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 85 pounds per inch for predictable, consistent force output
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under repetitive cycling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for standard tooling and stamping die assemblies requiring a medium heavy-duty red-series spring with a 0.5-inch outer diameter and 1.75-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die spring replacement is performed by qualified toolmakers or maintenance technicians during scheduled die maintenance or tooling changeover. Always de-energize and lock out the press before accessing die components. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.65 inches, as over-compression will reduce service life and can cause premature failure. Verify the spring pocket depth and rod clearance against the free length and rod diameter before installation.
