Associated Spring Raymond 105-748 Die Spring Gold

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 105-748 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial machinery applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a spring rate of 300 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 1036.8 pounds at 3.6 inches of travel. The gold color coding indicates its load classification, making quick visual identification easy during tooling setup and maintenance. At 12 inches free length with a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter and 3/4 inch rod diameter, this spring fits standard die set configurations. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and press room technicians are the primary installers.

This die spring is suited for high-cycle compression applications in metal stamping, forming, and punching operations. Its chromium alloy steel construction and trapezoidal wire profile provide consistent force output and long fatigue life under repetitive load conditions typical of production press environments. The 12 inch free length accommodates die sets requiring extended stroke capacity while the gold load rating places it in the heavy-duty range for demanding tooling layouts.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance in repetitive cycle applications
• Trapezoidal wire shape for increased load capacity relative to round wire designs
• Gold color code indicates heavy-duty load classification for fast visual identification
• 300 pounds per inch spring rate with 1036.8 pound maximum deflection load
• 3.6 inches maximum deflection travel suits extended-stroke die set configurations
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for standard industrial die sets requiring a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter, 3/4 inch rod diameter, and 12 inch free length in the heavy-duty gold load category.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified toolmakers or press room technicians with the press fully de-energized and all stored energy safely released before disassembly. Inspect the rod and housing bore for wear or damage prior to installing the new spring. Never exceed the rated maximum deflection of 3.6 inches, as over-compression accelerates fatigue failure and can cause spring breakage. Consult applicable machine safety standards and the die set manufacturer guidelines for proper preload and installation procedures.
