Associated Spring Raymond 105-514 Die Spring Heavy-duty Gold

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-514 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, presses, and tooling fixtures where consistent, high-load compression performance is required. It features a 1 inch hole diameter, a 1/2 inch rod diameter, and a 3-1/2 inch free length. The trapezoidal wire shape delivers a higher spring rate compared to round-wire designs, making it well suited for demanding production environments. With a spring rate of 456 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 478.8 pounds, this spring handles heavy cyclical loads common in metal fabrication and die tooling applications. It is installed by toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance technicians.

This die spring is designed for use in compression die assemblies, stripper plates, lifter mechanisms, and similar tooling components found in stamping and forming operations. The gold color coding identifies it as a heavy-duty spring per standard die spring color classification, allowing for quick visual identification during die maintenance and changeouts. It is appropriate for both production tooling and prototype fixture applications where repeatable load characteristics are essential.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty duty rating with a spring rate of 456 pounds per inch
• Maximum deflection load of 478.8 pounds at 1.05 inches maximum deflection
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity vs. round wire
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic loading
• Gold color coding for fast visual identification as a heavy-duty spring
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension heavy-duty die spring compatible with tooling and die assemblies requiring a 1 inch hole diameter, 1/2 inch rod diameter, and 3-1/2 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Always relieve all press pressure and lock out the press before accessing the die set or replacing springs. Inspect the mating rod and hole bores for wear or damage before installing a new spring. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 1.05 inches during operation, as over-deflection reduces fatigue life and can cause premature failure.
