Associated Spring Raymond 104-712 Die Spring Red

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 104-712 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial machinery where consistent, repeatable force is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a spring rate of 624 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 692.6 pounds. Free length is 3 inches, with a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter and 3/4 inch rod diameter. The red color coding identifies this as a heavy-load spring grade per ISO die spring standards. Maintenance technicians and toolmakers handle installation in production and fabrication environments.

This die spring fits standard 1-1/2 inch bore die sets and guide rod assemblies used in stamping, forming, and punching operations. The 3 inch free length and 1.11 inch maximum deflection make it suitable for moderate-stroke tooling applications. It is sold individually and is a direct fit for press tooling that requires a heavy-grade ISO-color-coded spring in this bore and rod size. Fabrication shops, tool and die facilities, and industrial maintenance operations are the primary users.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic load
• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load capacity in a compact cross-section
• Spring rate of 624 pounds per inch for predictable force output
• Maximum deflection load of 692.6 pounds with 1.11 inches maximum deflection
• Red color coding denotes heavy-load grade per ISO die spring classification
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service die spring for standard 1-1/2 inch hole diameter, 3/4 inch rod diameter die sets in industrial stamping and press tooling applications.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed and replaced by qualified toolmakers or maintenance technicians familiar with press tooling. Relieve all press pressure and lock out the press before removing or installing die springs. Do not compress the spring beyond the rated maximum deflection of 1.11 inches, as over-compression will shorten service life and may cause spring failure. Inspect mating rod and bore surfaces for wear or misalignment before installation.
