Associated Spring Raymond 105-214 Die Spring Heavy-duty Gold

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-214 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, presses, and tooling applications where consistent, high-cycle compression force is required. It features a 0.5-inch hole diameter, a 0.28125-inch rod diameter, and a 3.5-inch free length. Constructed from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, it delivers a spring rate of 60 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 63 pounds at 1.05 inches of travel. The gold color coding identifies its heavy-duty load rating per industry convention. Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers, press maintenance technicians, or mechanical maintenance tradespeople.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, punch press tooling, plastic injection molds, and other industrial machinery that requires a compact, high-force compression spring. It fits over guide rods up to 0.28125 inches in diameter and seats in pockets with a 0.5-inch bore. Typical applications include stripper plate returns, knockout mechanisms, and spring-loaded clamping fixtures in both light manufacturing and heavy production environments.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty load rating identified by gold color coding per standard die spring classification
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section increases load capacity and fatigue life compared to round wire
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high-cycle durability under repeated compression
• Spring rate of 60 pounds per inch with a maximum deflection of 1.05 inches
• Maximum deflection load of 63 pounds at full rated travel
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for stamping dies, punch press tooling, and industrial machinery using standard 0.5-inch pocket bore and 0.28125-inch guide rod configurations.

Installation Notes

Die springs of this type are installed by qualified tool and die makers or maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press or machine before replacing springs. Verify that the guide rod diameter and pocket bore of the tooling match the rod and hole dimensions of this spring before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.05 inches, as over-compression will shorten fatigue life and may cause premature failure.
