It features a 0.5-inch hole diameter, a 9\/32-inch rod diameter, and a 12-inch free length, making it suitable for setups that require a longer travel range under load. The spring is manufactured from chromium alloy steel and wound with a trapezoidal wire shape, which improves load capacity and fatigue life compared to round-wire alternatives. With a maximum deflection load of 53.3 pounds and a maximum deflection of 4.44 inches, this spring delivers consistent, predictable force throughout its compression cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die spring is intended for installation in metal stamping, forming, and die tooling assemblies where a medium heavy-duty red-coded spring is specified. The red color coding follows the standard industrial die spring classification system, indicating medium heavy-duty service. It fits over a 9\/32-inch guide rod and seats in a 0.5-inch hole, making it compatible with common die set configurations in both production and job-shop tooling environments. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians typically source this spring as a direct replacement or for new die builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance and extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire shape increases load capacity relative to round-wire springs of the same envelope size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-inch free length supports applications requiring extended deflection range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum deflection load of 53.3 pounds with a spring rate of 11.0 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed color code indicates medium heavy-duty duty rating per standard die spring classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO\/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for stamping die and punch press assemblies requiring a medium heavy-duty die spring with a 0.5-inch hole diameter and 9\/32-inch rod diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDie springs are typically installed by tool-and-die makers or maintenance technicians during die assembly or scheduled tooling maintenance. Before replacing a die spring, de-energize and lock out all press equipment in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Confirm the guide rod diameter and pocket hole diameter match the spring specifications before installation. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 4.44 inches during operation, as over-compression accelerates fatigue and can cause premature spring failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.281 inches (9\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.44 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 53.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.0 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trapezoidal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chromium Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.297 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANAB Accredited; ISO 9001:2008 Certified; ISO\/TS 16949:2009 Certified; TUV Rheinland Registered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161905\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 104-248\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASSOCIATED SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67952900473138,"sku":"104-248","price":40.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/92452fc7fcc9b949730ef180e11282d1.jpg?v=1791754661","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/associated-spring-raymond-104-248-die-spring-red-12-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
