Associated Spring Raymond 105-424 Die Spring 6 in Gold

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-424 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and industrial tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section that delivers higher load capacity and longer fatigue life compared to round-wire springs of comparable size. The spring carries a 0.75-inch hole diameter, a 0.375-inch rod diameter, and a 6-inch free length. Maximum deflection load is 288 pounds at 1.8 inches of deflection, with a spring rate of 160 pounds per inch. The gold color coding follows standard die spring load classifications, making identification straightforward during tooling setup or replacement.

This spring is suited for compression tooling in stamping and forming dies, injection mold assemblies, jigs, and fixtures where consistent force and stroke control are required. The gold designation indicates a heavy-load rating per industry convention. It is typically installed by tool and die makers, maintenance machinists, and industrial equipment technicians in manufacturing environments. The 6-inch free length accommodates applications requiring a moderate working stroke with predictable spring-back force throughout the deflection range.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire profile provides higher load density and improved fatigue resistance compared to round-wire alternatives
• 288-pound maximum deflection load at 1.8 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 160 pounds per inch for consistent, linear force delivery
• Gold color coding identifies heavy-load classification for quick visual sorting
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated high-cycle compression
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-format die spring for use in stamping dies, punch press tooling, mold assemblies, and industrial fixtures requiring a 0.75-inch hole diameter and 0.375-inch rod diameter with a 6-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers or maintenance machinists during die setup or tooling rebuild. De-energize and lock out all press or machine power before removing or installing die springs. Inspect the rod diameter and bore clearances against the spring specifications before installation to ensure proper fit without binding. Do not compress the spring beyond the rated maximum deflection of 1.8 inches during operation.
