Associated Spring Raymond 106-106 Die Spring 3/8 in

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 106-106 is an extra heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and other high-cycle tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, this spring delivers a spring rate of 125.00 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 46.9 pounds at 0.38 inches of travel. The 3/8 inch hole diameter and 3/16 inch rod diameter allow straightforward installation over a guide rod or into a counterbored pocket. The green color coding follows the ISO die spring standard for extra heavy-duty duty rating. Toolmakers, die setters, and press maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This die spring is suited for stamping and forming dies in both production and prototype tooling environments. Its 1-1/2 inch free length and compact form factor make it appropriate for applications with limited shut height. The extra heavy-duty rating means it is selected where higher load requirements exceed the capacity of light, medium, or heavy standard spring classifications. It is commonly installed in automotive, metal fabrication, and general industrial press tooling.

Key Features

• Extra heavy-duty duty rating with green color coding per ISO die spring standards
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity relative to round wire designs
• Spring rate of 125.00 pounds per inch for predictable, consistent force output
• Maximum deflection load of 46.9 pounds at 0.38 inches maximum deflection
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance in high-cycle applications
• 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 3/8 inch hole diameter, 3/16 inch rod diameter, and 1-1/2 inch free length in the extra heavy-duty green classification.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by toolmakers or press maintenance technicians during die build or scheduled tooling maintenance. Before servicing a press or die assembly, de-energize the press, engage all safety blocks, and relieve any stored energy in the tooling. Ensure the guide rod diameter and pocket bore match the spring rod and hole diameter specifications before installation to prevent buckling or misalignment under load.
