Associated Spring Raymond 105-548 Die Spring Gold

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-548 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and industrial tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 432 pounds and a spring rate of 128 pounds per inch. The gold color coding indicates a heavy load class per industry convention. With a 1 inch hole diameter and 12 inch free length, this spring suits demanding tooling environments where consistent, repeatable force is required. Installation is handled by tool and die makers and industrial maintenance technicians.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, injection mold tooling, and press tooling where a 1 inch bore and 1/2 inch rod diameter are required. The 12 inch free length accommodates tooling setups that require extended travel or high-force return strokes. The gold color class identifies it as a heavy-load spring within the standard die spring classification system, making it straightforward to specify and replace during tooling maintenance cycles.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance in cyclic loading
• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load capacity within the same envelope compared to round wire
• Gold color coding indicates heavy load class for easy field identification
• 432 pound maximum deflection load with 3.6 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 128 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard die spring replacement for tooling applications requiring a 1 inch hole diameter, 1/2 inch rod diameter, and 12 inch free length in a heavy load class configuration.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by tool and die makers or qualified maintenance technicians. Always relieve all press and tooling pressure before replacing a die spring. Ensure the mating rod diameter and bore dimensions match the spring specifications before seating. Inspect the spring seat and guide rod for wear or damage prior to installation to avoid premature spring failure.
