Associated Spring Raymond 106-614 Die Spring Green

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 106-614 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in metal stamping, forming, and press tooling applications. Manufactured from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a spring rate of 1085 pounds per inch and a maximum deflection load of 882 pounds at 0.88 inches of travel. The green color coding indicates a heavy load classification per standard die spring conventions. With a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter, this spring installs over standard guide rods in die sets used across industrial fabrication and tooling environments. Tool and die makers, press technicians, and mold maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This die spring is suited for high-cycle metal stamping dies, injection mold assemblies, and progressive tooling where consistent force and deflection control are required. The 3-1/2 inch free length accommodates moderate-stroke press applications in both production and prototype tooling setups. It is a direct-fit replacement style spring for standard die guide rod configurations with matching hole and rod diameter requirements. The green heavy-load designation makes it straightforward to source as a replacement during scheduled die maintenance or unplanned tooling repair.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity per unit length compared to round wire springs
• 882 pound maximum deflection load with 0.88 inches maximum travel
• Spring rate of 1085 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable force delivery
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability in high-cycle tooling environments
• Green color coding indicates heavy-load classification for quick visual identification
• ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing for consistent quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement die spring for press tooling and die sets requiring a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, 5/8 inch rod diameter, and 3-1/2 inch free length in the heavy-load green classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool and die makers or press maintenance technicians. Before servicing any die set, de-energize and lock out the press per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the replacement spring hole diameter, rod diameter, free length, and load color code all match the original specification before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.88 inches, as over-compression will cause premature fatigue failure.
