Associated Spring Raymond 105-105 Die Spring Heavy Duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-105 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and similar tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire shape that delivers a higher spring rate compared to round-wire springs, allowing it to handle greater loads within a compact envelope. The spring has a 0.375-inch hole diameter, a 0.1875-inch rod diameter, and a free length of 1.25 inches. It achieves a maximum deflection load of 36.8 pounds at a maximum deflection of 0.38 inches, with a spring rate of 98.0 pounds per inch. The gold color coding identifies it as a heavy-duty grade per standard die spring classifications. It is manufactured from chromium alloy steel for durability under cyclic loading.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping, forming, and die-casting tooling where a compact, high-load spring is required. It fits standard die sets calling for a 0.375-inch bore and a 0.1875-inch guide rod. Typical installers include tool and die makers, press maintenance technicians, and precision machining shops working in both production and repair environments. Its small form factor makes it appropriate for multi-spring die assemblies where space between cavity features is limited.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire profile provides higher load capacity than equivalent round-wire die springs
• Heavy-duty gold color coding for quick grade identification in multi-spring tooling setups
• Maximum deflection load of 36.8 pounds with a spring rate of 98.0 pounds per inch
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under repeated cycling
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems
• Compact 1.25-inch free length suits confined die set geometries

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-installation die spring for tooling with a 0.375-inch bore and a 0.1875-inch guide rod diameter requiring a heavy-duty gold-grade spring at 1.25 inches free length.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement is typically performed by tool and die technicians or press maintenance personnel. Always relieve all press pressure and lock out the press ram before removing or installing die springs. Inspect the guide rod and bore for wear, burrs, or misalignment that could cause uneven loading or premature spring failure. Do not compress this spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.38 inches, as over-compression will reduce service life.
