Associated Spring Raymond 105-506 Heavy-duty Die Spring

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-506 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, presses, and tooling fixtures that demand consistent, high-cycle compression performance. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, this spring delivers a spring rate of 1,200 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 532.8 pounds at 0.45 inches of travel. The gold color coding identifies its heavy-duty duty rating at a glance, which is standard practice in die spring classification. It is installed by tool and die makers, machine builders, and maintenance technicians working on press tooling and industrial fixtures.

This die spring fits applications requiring a 1-inch hole diameter and a 0.5-inch rod diameter, with a free length of 1.5 inches. It is suited for use in metal stamping dies, injection mold assemblies, stripper plate mechanisms, and similar high-load tooling environments. The compact free length makes it practical for installations with limited axial space. Its chromium alloy steel construction supports repeated deflection cycles without significant set, which is critical in production tooling where spring replacement frequency directly affects downtime.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty duty rating with gold color coding for fast identification per industry standards
• Trapezoidal wire shape increases load capacity and fatigue life compared to round wire profiles
• Spring rate of 1,200 pounds per inch for predictable, consistent force delivery
• Maximum deflection load of 532.8 pounds at 0.45 inches maximum deflection
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high-cycle durability under repeated compression
• ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a heavy-duty die spring for tooling applications requiring a 1-inch hole diameter, 0.5-inch rod diameter, and 1.5-inch free length. Verify bore and rod clearances against your specific tooling drawings before installation.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by qualified tool and die makers or maintenance technicians servicing press tooling. Always de-energize and lock out the press before removing or replacing die components. Do not compress beyond the rated maximum deflection of 0.45 inches, as exceeding this limit accelerates fatigue and can cause premature failure. Confirm that the mating bore and guide rod dimensions match the specified hole and rod diameters before installation.
