Associated Spring Raymond 104-716 Die Spring Red

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 104-716 is a medium heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and industrial press tooling. It features a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter, a 3/4 inch rod diameter, and a free length of 4 inches. The trapezoidal wire shape delivers higher load capacity per unit length compared to round-wire springs of equivalent size. With a spring rate of 465 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 710.4 pounds, this spring handles demanding cyclical compression applications. It is manufactured from chromium alloy steel for fatigue resistance under repeated loading. Licensed trades and tooling technicians install this part in die sets and hydraulic press tooling.

The 104-716 is suited for medium heavy-duty industrial applications including progressive stamping dies, injection mold assemblies, and automated press tooling where consistent return force is required. The red color coding follows the ISO standard die spring color identification system, indicating the medium heavy-duty load range. It is appropriate for both original die builds and replacement of worn or fatigued springs in existing tooling setups.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch hole diameter and 3/4 inch rod diameter for standard die post fitment
• 4 inch free length with 1.48 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 465 pounds per inch for predictable load-deflection performance
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for increased load capacity versus round-wire equivalents
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue life under cyclical compression
• Red color coding per ISO die spring classification for medium heavy-duty duty rating

Compatibility

Designed as a medium heavy-duty replacement die spring for standard industrial die sets and mold assemblies using a 1-1/2 inch bore and 3/4 inch guide rod configuration.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified tooling or machine maintenance personnel with the press or mold fully de-energized and relieved of hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. Ensure the guide rod and bore dimensions match the spring specifications before installation to prevent lateral loading or buckling. Do not compress the spring beyond the rated maximum deflection of 1.48 inches. Inspect mating surfaces for burrs or damage that could cause uneven seating.
