Associated Spring Raymond 104-624 Die Spring Red

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 104-624 is a medium heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and tooling fixtures that require consistent, repeatable compression force. It features a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, a 5/8 inch rod diameter, and a 6 inch free length. The trapezoidal wire shape provides a higher load capacity relative to round-wire springs of comparable size. With a spring rate of 250 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 555 pounds, this spring is built for applications where controlled force and long cycle life are required. It is installed by toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance technicians.

This spring is color-coded red, indicating medium heavy-duty duty rating per standard die spring classification. It is suited for use in metal stamping dies, injection mold tooling, and industrial press fixtures. The 6 inch free length and 2.22 inch maximum deflection make it appropriate for setups requiring moderate travel with high return force. It is manufactured from chromium alloy steel for durability under repeated compression cycles in production tooling environments.

Key Features

• Medium heavy-duty duty rating with 555 pound maximum deflection load
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load density compared to round-wire designs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for strength and fatigue resistance
• Spring rate of 250 pounds per inch for predictable force output
• Red color coding for quick duty-rating identification during die setup
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for stamping dies and tooling fixtures requiring a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter with a 6 inch free length in the medium heavy-duty red classification.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by qualified toolmakers or maintenance technicians during die assembly or tooling maintenance. Always relieve all press pressure and lock out the press before removing or installing die springs. Inspect the mating rod and bore for wear or burrs that could cause uneven loading or premature spring failure. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 2.22 inches.
