Associated Spring Raymond 105-314 Die Spring Gold

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-314 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and other high-cycle industrial applications. It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section, which increases contact area and delivers a higher load capacity compared to round-wire springs of the same envelope size. The gold color code indicates a heavy load series. With a free length of 3.5 inches, a hole diameter of 0.625 inches, and a rod diameter of 0.34375 inches, this spring fits standard die sets where consistent force and long fatigue life are required. Maximum load at full deflection is 128.1 pounds.

This die spring is suited for metal stamping, forming, and blanking dies in both production and toolroom environments. It is installed by tool and die makers, machine builders, and maintenance machinists. Typical applications include stripper plates, pressure pads, and knockout assemblies in hydraulic and mechanical presses. The gold series designation targets applications demanding higher spring rates where a medium-load spring would bottom out prematurely under cyclic press loads.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load density and extended fatigue life compared to round-wire designs
• Gold color coding identifies heavy load series for straightforward spring selection during die setup
• 128.1 pound maximum deflection load at 1.05 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 122.0 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force throughout the stroke
• Chromium alloy steel construction resists fatigue and wear under high-cycle press conditions
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for standard tooling bores accepting a 0.625 inch hole diameter and 0.34375 inch rod diameter with a 3.5 inch free length in heavy-load die spring applications.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed and serviced by qualified tool and die makers or maintenance machinists. Always de-energize and lock out the press before removing or installing springs in a die set. Inspect the mating pocket diameter and rod diameter clearances before installation to ensure the spring is not pinched or over-constrained. Never compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as bottoming out accelerates fatigue failure and can damage tooling.
