Associated Spring Raymond 106-608 Die Spring Extra Heavy-duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 106-608 is an extra heavy-duty die spring designed for high-load tooling and stamping die applications. It features a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, a 5/8 inch rod diameter, and a 2 inch free length. The trapezoidal wire shape allows for greater load capacity in a compact envelope compared to round-wire springs of similar dimensions. Rated at a maximum deflection load of 960 pounds with a maximum deflection of 0.5 inches and a spring rate of 2,050 pounds per inch, this spring is built for demanding press and die environments. It is manufactured from chromium alloy steel and color-coded green to indicate extra heavy-duty service per industry-standard die spring classifications.

This spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, punch press tooling, injection molds, and other industrial applications requiring consistent, high-force spring return. The green color coding allows quick identification during die assembly and maintenance. Toolmakers, die setters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new die builds and replacement of worn or fatigued springs in existing tooling.

Key Features

• Extra heavy-duty duty rating with a 960-pound maximum deflection load
• Spring rate of 2,050 pounds per inch for predictable, high-force performance
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section maximizes load capacity within a compact form factor
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
• Green color coding for fast identification per standard die spring duty classifications
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension die spring compatible with tooling applications requiring a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter at a 2 inch free length in an extra heavy-duty rating.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed and replaced by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press before accessing die components. Inspect the spring seat, pocket bore, and guide rod for wear or misalignment before installing a replacement spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.5 inches, as over-compression will reduce service life and may cause premature failure.
