Associated Spring Raymond 104-310 Die Spring Red

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 104-310 is a medium heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial mold assemblies. It features a 0.625-inch hole diameter, a 0.344-inch rod diameter, and a 2.5-inch free length. The trapezoidal wire profile delivers consistent force distribution and extended cycle life under high-load conditions. With a spring rate of 115 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 106.4 pounds at 0.93 inches of travel, this spring is built to perform in demanding production environments. It is installed and serviced by tool-and-die makers, maintenance machinists, and industrial press technicians.

This die spring is suited for residential and industrial press tooling, injection mold assemblies, stamping dies, and jig and fixture applications where controlled return force and precise deflection are required. The red color coding identifies it as a medium heavy-duty grade, making it straightforward to sort and reorder within a tooling inventory. The 0.344-inch rod diameter allows direct mounting on standard guide pins found in common die sets.

Key Features

• Medium heavy-duty duty rating with 115 lb/in spring rate for consistent, predictable return force
• Maximum deflection load of 106.4 pounds at 0.93 inches of travel
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for improved load capacity and fatigue resistance versus round wire
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated compression cycles
• Red color coding for quick visual identification of duty grade in tooling applications
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard die spring for tooling assemblies requiring a 0.625-inch hole diameter, 0.344-inch rod diameter, and 2.5-inch free length in medium heavy-duty red-grade applications.

Installation Notes

Die spring replacement and installation should be performed by qualified tool-and-die technicians or maintenance machinists with the press fully de-energized and ram blocked in the safe position. Inspect guide pins and bores for wear before installing a new spring, as a worn pin can cause premature fatigue. Never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.93 inches, as over-compression accelerates fatigue failure. Follow applicable OSHA machine guarding and lockout/tagout procedures during all die maintenance work.
