Associated Spring Raymond 106-108 Die Spring Green

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 106-108 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, punch tooling, and industrial press applications. It features a 3/8 inch hole diameter, a 3/16 inch rod diameter, and a 2 inch free length. The green color coding indicates a light load rating per industry convention, with a maximum deflection load of 45 pounds and a maximum deflection of 0.5 inches, yielding a spring rate of 90 pounds per inch. The trapezoidal wire shape maximizes material contact and load capacity within a compact envelope. Constructed from chromium alloy steel for durability under repeated cycling. Licensed HVAC, tool and die, and maintenance professionals install this part in production and repair environments.

This die spring is suited for light-load tooling applications in stamping dies, molds, and mechanical press assemblies. The 3/8 inch hole diameter allows mounting over a 3/16 inch guide rod, keeping the spring centered under load and preventing lateral buckling during compression. Typical installations include return mechanisms in punch and die sets, stripper plate assemblies, and similar cyclical compression applications in both industrial and maintenance shop environments.

Key Features

• Green color code indicates light load range per standard die spring classification
• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load capacity compared to round wire in equivalent space
• Maximum deflection load of 45 pounds at 0.5 inches deflection
• Spring rate of 90 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable force output
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under repeated cycling
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for light-load stamping die, mold, and mechanical press tooling applications requiring a 3/8 inch hole diameter, 3/16 inch rod diameter, and 2 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified tool and die technicians or maintenance personnel familiar with press tooling. Always de-energize and lock out the press before servicing any die components. Ensure the guide rod diameter does not exceed 3/16 inches to maintain proper spring alignment and prevent binding. Replace springs in matched sets when used in multi-spring tooling layouts to maintain balanced load distribution.
