Associated Spring Raymond 104-632 Die Spring Red

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 104-632 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load stamping, forming, and tooling applications. It features a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and a 5/8 inch rod diameter, making it compatible with standard die set configurations. The free length measures 8 inches, with a maximum deflection of 2.96 inches and a maximum deflection load of 544.6 pounds. The trapezoidal wire cross-section increases the active material per coil, delivering a spring rate of 184 pounds per inch. Constructed from chromium alloy steel, this spring is built to handle cyclic loading in demanding press environments. The red color coding indicates a heavy load classification under standard die spring conventions. Licensed toolmakers, die maintenance technicians, and press room professionals are the typical installers.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, injection molds, progressive dies, and other precision tooling assemblies where consistent force and deflection are critical. It is appropriate for both new die builds and replacement of worn or fatigued springs in existing toolsets. The 8 inch free length makes it well suited for applications requiring a longer stroke with controlled return force. Its chromium alloy steel construction resists fatigue and maintains dimensional stability across high-cycle production runs in industrial press environments.

• Trapezoidal wire shape maximizes material per coil for high-load performance
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance in high-cycle applications
• Red color coding indicates heavy load classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for standard die spring applications using a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter configuration with an 8 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians with the press fully de-energized and locked out per established lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the rod diameter and hole diameter of the die set match the spring specifications before installation. Do not compress this spring beyond the rated maximum deflection of 2.96 inches, as exceeding this value will cause permanent set or component failure. Inspect mating die components for wear or misalignment before installing a replacement spring.
