Associated Spring Raymond 105-504 Die Spring Heavy-duty Gold

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-504 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and similar tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section wound from chromium alloy steel, which delivers a higher spring rate and greater load capacity compared to standard round-wire springs of the same envelope size. The spring carries a rate of 1,932 pounds per inch and handles a maximum deflection load of 624 pounds at 0.3 inches of travel. The gold color coding identifies it as a heavy-duty unit per standard die spring color classification conventions.

This spring is suited for industrial tooling, metal stamping, and die-set applications where consistent force and reliable cycle life are required. It fits standard die sets with a 1-inch hole diameter and accepts a 1/2-inch guide rod. The 1-inch free length makes it appropriate for compact die cavities and tooling assemblies with limited pocket depth. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working on press tooling are the primary installers.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire profile provides a higher spring rate versus equivalent round-wire die springs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under high-cycle press conditions
• Heavy-duty duty rating with a spring rate of 1,932 pounds per inch
• Maximum deflection load of 624 pounds at 0.3 inches of travel
• Gold color coding for quick heavy-duty identification per industry standard conventions
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-format die spring for tooling assemblies requiring a 1-inch hole diameter, a 1/2-inch guide rod diameter, and a 1-inch free length in a heavy-duty gold series application.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified tool-and-die or maintenance personnel familiar with press tooling procedures. Always de-energize and lock out the press before servicing any die components. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 0.3 inches, as over-compression accelerates fatigue and can cause premature failure. Inspect the mating guide rod and pocket bore for proper fit and surface condition before installation.
