Associated Spring Raymond 106-512 Die Spring Extra Heavy-duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 106-512 is an extra heavy-duty die spring designed for high-load tooling and stamping applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire shape, it delivers a spring rate of 736 pounds per inch and handles a maximum deflection load of 552 pounds at 0.75 inches of travel. The green color coding identifies it as an extra heavy-duty rating per standard die spring classifications. It is installed by tool and die makers, press technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working with stamping dies, punch presses, and similar tooling setups.

This die spring fits tooling applications requiring a 1 inch hole diameter and a 0.5 inch rod diameter, with a free length of 3 inches. It is suited for use in progressive dies, compound dies, and other press tooling where consistent, high-force return action is required. The extra heavy-duty rating makes it appropriate for high-cycle industrial stamping operations where lighter-duty springs would deflect excessively or fatigue prematurely.

Key Features

• Extra heavy-duty duty rating with green color coding for quick identification
• Spring rate of 736 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable force output
• Maximum deflection load of 552 pounds at 0.75 inches of travel
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for increased load capacity relative to round-wire springs of the same envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance in high-cycle tooling
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems; TUV Rheinland Registered; ANAB Accredited

Compatibility

Designed for standard die spring applications requiring a 1 inch hole diameter, 0.5 inch rod diameter, and 3 inch free length in extra heavy-duty tooling configurations.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by qualified tool and die technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Always relieve all press tonnage and de-energize the press before replacing die springs. Ensure the spring is seated squarely on both the rod and in the pocket to prevent side-loading, which reduces service life. Inspect mating rod and pocket dimensions for wear before installing a new spring.
