Associated Spring Raymond 106-548 Die Spring Green

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 106-548 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and industrial tooling applications. It features a 1-inch hole diameter, a 1/2-inch rod diameter, and a 12-inch free length. The spring is wound from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, which provides a higher load capacity relative to its size compared to round-wire springs. It is rated for a maximum deflection load of 528 pounds over a maximum deflection of 3 inches, yielding a spring rate of 176 pounds per inch. Green color coding identifies this as a heavy-load class per standard die spring classifications. Industrial maintenance technicians and tooling engineers are the primary installers.

This die spring is intended for use in metal stamping dies, injection molds, jigs, fixtures, and other precision tooling assemblies where consistent, repeatable force is required. The 12-inch free length makes it suitable for applications requiring longer stroke travel or pre-load stacking arrangements. Its chromium alloy steel construction supports use in high-cycle industrial press environments. The green color-coded designation allows for quick load-class identification when selecting or replacing springs in a multi-spring die setup.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for increased load density compared to round-wire construction
• 528-pound maximum deflection load with a 3-inch maximum deflection
• 176 lb/in spring rate for predictable, linear force delivery
• Green color coding denotes heavy-load class for fast field identification
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability in high-cycle tooling applications
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008, ISO/TS 16949:2009, and TUV Rheinland registered quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for industrial stamping dies, punch press tooling, and precision fixture assemblies requiring a 1-inch hole diameter, 1/2-inch rod diameter, and 12-inch free length heavy-load spring.

Installation Notes

Die springs of this type are installed by tooling engineers or industrial maintenance technicians during die build or preventive maintenance cycles. Always relieve all press pressure and lock out the press ram before removing or installing die springs. Inspect the spring pocket bore and guide rod for wear or damage prior to installation. Never compress this spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 3 inches, as over-compression will permanently damage the spring and reduce service life.
