Associated Spring Raymond 105-508 Die Spring Heavy-duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-508 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and stamping die applications. It features a 1 inch hole diameter, a 1/2 inch rod diameter, and a 2 inch free length. The trapezoidal wire shape provides a higher load capacity per unit of deflection compared to standard round-wire springs, giving this spring its heavy-duty classification. With a spring rate of 872 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 540 pounds, it is suited for demanding press tooling environments. Manufactured from chromium alloy steel, it is color-coded gold for quick heavy-duty identification on the shop floor.

This die spring is used in stamping dies, punch and die assemblies, mold and fixture tooling, and other industrial press applications requiring consistent, repeatable load characteristics. It is appropriate for both production tooling and maintenance replacement scenarios. Toolmakers, die setters, and manufacturing engineers are the primary installers and specifiers. The gold color code follows the industry-standard die spring color classification system, allowing quick identification of duty rating when springs are racked or stored alongside other series.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty duty rating with 540 pound maximum deflection load
• Spring rate of 872 pounds per inch for precise load control
• Trapezoidal wire shape for higher load density versus round-wire designs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
• Gold color coding for fast heavy-duty identification in die shops
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation die spring for heavy-duty stamping die and press tooling assemblies requiring a 1 inch hole diameter, 1/2 inch rod diameter, and 2 inch free length configuration.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed and replaced by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press before accessing die components. Verify that the replacement spring matches the hole diameter, rod diameter, free length, and duty rating of the original specification before installation. Inspect the mating die pocket and guide rod for wear or damage that could cause premature spring fatigue.
