Associated Spring Raymond 106-248 Die Spring Green

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 106-248 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial machine applications. It features a 0.5-inch hole diameter, a 12-inch free length, and a trapezoidal wire shape that delivers consistent force and fatigue resistance under repeated cycling. The spring is rated for a maximum deflection load of 75 pounds at 3 inches of maximum deflection, with a spring rate of 24 pounds per inch. Manufactured from chromium alloy steel, it carries a green color designation indicating its load category within the standard die spring classification system. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors, as well as toolmakers and industrial maintenance technicians, specify this part for precision tooling setups.

This die spring is suited for use in punch-and-die assemblies, injection mold tooling, and mechanical press applications where controlled, repeatable spring force is required. The green color coding aligns with ISO and industry-standard die spring classifications for light-to-medium load ranges. It is appropriate for both new tooling builds and replacement service on existing dies. The compact wire profile and chromium alloy construction make it a reliable choice in high-cycle industrial environments where spring fatigue is a service concern.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load capacity and longer fatigue life compared to round-wire die springs
• 12-inch free length accommodates deep die sets and long-stroke press applications
• 75-pound maximum deflection load with a 3-inch maximum deflection range
• Spring rate of 24 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability in high-cycle tooling environments
• Green color designation for quick visual identification of load category during setup and maintenance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard die spring replacement for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial machinery requiring a 0.5-inch hole diameter and 12-inch free length spring with a green load classification.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified toolmakers or industrial maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press or machine before removing or installing springs. Inspect the die pocket and guide pin for wear or damage before seating the new spring, and ensure the spring is fully seated and centered to prevent side loading. Do not compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as over-compression can cause permanent set or premature failure.
