Associated Spring Raymond 104-814 Die Spring Red 2in Hole

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 104-814 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial machinery where controlled, repeatable compression force is required. This spring features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and a 3.5-inch free length. The red color designation indicates a heavy load class, and the trapezoidal wire cross-section provides a higher load capacity per unit of deflection compared to standard round wire springs. It is rated for a maximum deflection load of 1,036 pounds with a maximum deflection of 1.3 inches. Installation and replacement are typically handled by tool-and-die technicians or maintenance machinists.

This die spring is suited for high-cycle stamping and forming applications in industrial press tooling, mold bases, and automation fixtures. The red load category fits applications requiring heavy force over a limited stroke. Typical installations involve mounting the spring over a guide rod or inside a drilled pocket in a die set, where consistent spring-back force must be maintained across thousands of cycles. It is appropriate for both new tooling builds and direct replacement of worn or failed springs in existing die sets.

Key Features

• Heavy load class (red) with a spring rate of 782 pounds per inch
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load density than round wire designs
• Maximum deflection load of 1,036 pounds at 1.3 inches of travel
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance in high-cycle applications
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 standards with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as a standard heavy-load die spring for use with guide rods up to 1 inch in diameter and die pockets sized for a 2-inch outside diameter, consistent with common die set configurations using ISO and ANSI standard die spring layouts.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified tool-and-die technicians or maintenance personnel familiar with press tooling. Always de-energize and lock out the press before servicing any die components. Ensure the guide rod diameter and pocket bore match the spring specifications before installation to prevent buckling or uneven loading. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.3 inches, as over-compression will accelerate fatigue failure.
