Associated Spring Raymond 105-422 Die Spring Gold

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-422 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and industrial tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire shape that delivers higher load capacity in a compact footprint compared to standard round-wire springs. With a 0.75 inch hole diameter, a 0.375 inch rod diameter, and a free length of 5.5 inches, this spring provides a maximum deflection load of 280.5 pounds and a maximum deflection of 1.65 inches. The gold color coding indicates a heavy load rating under standard die spring classification. Licensed tool and die makers and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, injection molds, and other high-cycle industrial tooling where consistent force and fatigue resistance are required. It rides on a guide rod with a 0.375 inch diameter and mounts inside a 0.75 inch bore. Applications span production stamping presses, forming dies, and stripping operations in both light and heavy manufacturing environments. Its chromium alloy steel construction and trapezoidal wire profile support extended service cycles under repeated compression loads.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load density than comparable round-wire die springs
• Gold color code designates heavy load classification for quick visual identification
• Maximum deflection load of 280.5 pounds with a spring rate of 178 pounds per inch
• Maximum deflection of 1.65 inches supports a wide working stroke range
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue life in repetitive cycling applications
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard die spring replacement for tooling bores of 0.75 inches with guide rods of 0.375 inches, suitable for use in stamping dies, molds, and industrial presses requiring a 5.5 inch free-length heavy-load spring.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool and die makers or qualified industrial maintenance technicians. Always ensure the die or press is fully de-energized and any stored mechanical energy is released before removing or replacing springs. Verify that the guide rod diameter and bore diameter match the spring specifications before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond the rated maximum deflection of 1.65 inches, as exceeding this limit will cause permanent set and premature failure.
