Associated Spring Raymond 104-848 Die Spring 2in Red

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 104-848 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial machinery where consistent, high-force return pressure is required. This spring features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and a 12-inch free length, making it suitable for larger tooling assemblies. It is constructed from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, which increases load capacity and extends fatigue life compared to round-wire designs. A maximum deflection load of 994.6 pounds and a maximum deflection of 4.44 inches define its operating envelope. Tool and die makers, press maintenance technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers of this component.

This die spring is color-coded red, indicating a heavy load classification per standard die spring color conventions. It is used in metal stamping presses, die casting equipment, injection mold tooling, and general industrial press applications where a 2-inch bore and 1-inch rod guide configuration is required. The 12-inch free length accommodates tooling setups that demand extended working stroke and higher energy storage. This spring is appropriate for both OEM tooling builds and maintenance replacement in production environments.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section increases load density compared to round-wire springs
• Red color coding identifies heavy load classification at a glance during tooling setup
• Maximum deflection load of 994.6 pounds suits demanding stamping and press applications
• Spring rate of 215 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear return force
• Manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949 quality standards with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial die and press tooling assemblies requiring a 2-inch hole diameter, 1-inch rod diameter, and 12-inch free length heavy-load die spring.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tool and die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. De-energize and lock out the press or machine before removing or installing die springs, following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the guide rod diameter and bore clearance match the spring specifications before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 4.44 inches, as over-compression will damage the spring and reduce service life.
