Associated Spring Raymond 105-316 Die Spring Gold

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-316 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and industrial tooling applications. It features a 0.625-inch hole diameter, an 11/32-inch rod diameter, and a 4-inch free length. The trapezoidal wire cross-section delivers a higher load capacity compared to round-wire springs of the same envelope size. With a maximum deflection load of 129.6 pounds and a spring rate of 108 pounds per inch, this gold-coded spring falls in the heavy-load range of standard die spring classifications. It is manufactured from chromium alloy steel for durability under repeated cycling.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping and forming tooling where consistent force and reliable return stroke are required. The gold color coding identifies the load class at a glance, which speeds up tooling setup and replacement. It is appropriate for both production stamping operations and custom die builds in job shops. Toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance machinists are the primary installers in manufacturing and fabrication environments.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire profile provides higher load density than equivalent round-wire springs
• Gold color coding indicates heavy-load classification for fast visual identification
• 129.6 lb maximum deflection load with 1.2-inch maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 108 lb per inch for predictable, consistent force curve
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high cycle life under repeated compression
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard die spring replacement for heavy-load tooling applications requiring a 0.625-inch hole diameter, 11/32-inch rod diameter, and 4-inch free length in stamping dies and punch press fixtures.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians during die build or scheduled tooling service. Before replacing a die spring, ensure the press is fully de-energized, locked out, and the slide is blocked per applicable machine guarding procedures. Springs should be inspected for coil set or cracking at each service interval and never compressed beyond the rated maximum deflection of 1.2 inches. Consult the die design drawings to confirm hole diameter, rod diameter, free length, and load class before installation.
