Associated Spring Raymond 105-712 Die Spring Heavy-duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-712 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and tooling fixtures where consistent, high-force return action is required. It features a 1.5-inch hole diameter, a 0.75-inch rod diameter, and a 3-inch free length. The trapezoidal wire shape maximizes the active coil count within a compact envelope, delivering a spring rate of 1300 lb per inch and a maximum deflection load of 1170 lb at 0.9 inches of travel. Constructed from chromium alloy steel, this spring is built to withstand the cyclic stress demands of industrial tooling applications. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the typical end users.

This spring is suited for installation in heavy-duty die sets used in metal stamping, forming, and progressive die applications. The gold color coding identifies the heavy-duty load class per common industry die spring standards, making it straightforward to select and replace in multi-spring die assemblies. It is appropriate for both OEM tooling builds and maintenance replacement in production press environments where high cycle life and dimensional consistency are critical.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty load rating with 1300 lb per inch spring rate and 1170 lb maximum deflection load
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section increases active coils for extended fatigue life compared to round-wire springs
• 1.5-inch hole diameter and 0.75-inch rod diameter fit standard heavy-duty die spring pockets
• 3-inch free length provides 0.9 inches of maximum working deflection
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high-stress cyclic tooling environments
• Gold color coding identifies heavy-duty class for quick field identification and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement heavy-duty die spring for standard die spring pockets requiring a 1.5-inch hole diameter, 0.75-inch rod diameter, and 3-inch free length in industrial stamping and tooling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool-and-die makers or qualified maintenance technicians during die setup or scheduled tooling maintenance. Always relieve all press pressure and lock out the press ram before removing or installing die springs. Inspect the spring pocket and guide rod for wear, scoring, or misalignment before seating the replacement spring, as these conditions accelerate fatigue failure. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 0.9 inches during operation.
