Associated Spring Raymond 104-214 Die Spring Red Medium Heavy-duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 104-214 is a medium heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and precision tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire shape that delivers a higher load capacity in a compact envelope compared to round-wire springs. With a 0.5 inch hole diameter, a 9/32 inch rod diameter, a 3.5 inch free length, and a maximum deflection load of 51.8 pounds at 1.3 inches of travel, this spring is built to handle repetitive cycling under consistent industrial loads. The chromium alloy steel construction provides durability and fatigue resistance in demanding press environments. Color-coded red per ISO die spring standards to indicate medium heavy-duty duty rating for quick field identification.

This die spring is used in metal stamping, forming, and progressive die tooling across manufacturing and fabrication shops. It is suited for applications where consistent spring force and controlled deflection are required over high cycle counts. Typical installations include stripper plates, lifters, and blank holders in both original tooling builds and die maintenance replacement scenarios. Tool and die makers and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire shape increases load density compared to round-wire die springs of the same envelope
• Red color coding identifies medium heavy-duty duty rating per ISO die spring standard conventions
• Maximum deflection load of 51.8 pounds at 1.3 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 40.00 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance in high-cycle press applications
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008, ISO/TS 16949:2009, and TUV Rheinland registered quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or original-build die spring for medium heavy-duty stamping die applications requiring a 0.5 inch hole diameter, 9/32 inch rod diameter, and 3.5 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified tool and die makers or industrial maintenance personnel familiar with press tooling. Always relieve all press pressure and lock out the ram before accessing or replacing die springs. Ensure the guide rod diameter and pocket bore match the spring rod and hole diameter specifications before installation to prevent buckling or premature failure. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.3 inches during operation or setup.
