Associated Spring Raymond 106-718 Die Spring Green

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 106-718 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and tooling fixtures. It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section that delivers higher load capacity and longer fatigue life compared to round-wire springs of the same envelope size. The 106-718 has a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter, a 3/4 inch rod diameter, and a free length of 4-1/2 inches. At maximum deflection of 1.13 inches, it sustains a load of 1,665 pounds with a spring rate of 1,625 pounds per inch. It is manufactured from chromium alloy steel for durability in high-cycle industrial applications. Installation and replacement are typically performed by tooling technicians or maintenance machinists.

This die spring is suited for industrial press tooling, injection mold assemblies, and heavy-duty mechanical fixtures requiring consistent, repeatable force over high cycle counts. The green color coding indicates a heavy load category per common die spring classification standards, helping technicians quickly identify and match spring load classes during tooling setup or replacement. This part is sold individually and is appropriate for both OEM tooling builds and aftermarket maintenance replacement in manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load density and extended fatigue life versus round-wire alternatives
• 1,665 pounds maximum deflection load at 1.13 inches maximum deflection
• Spring rate of 1,625 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Chromium alloy steel construction for wear resistance in high-cycle press applications
• Green color coding identifies heavy load class for fast field identification
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial stamping dies, punch press tooling, and mechanical fixture assemblies requiring a heavy-load die spring with a 1-1/2 inch hole diameter and 4-1/2 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified tooling technicians or maintenance personnel with the press or fixture fully de-energized and any stored mechanical energy safely discharged before service. Verify rod diameter clearance and hole diameter fit before seating the spring to prevent side loading. Do not compress the spring beyond the rated maximum deflection of 1.13 inches, as over-compression will reduce fatigue life and can cause premature failure.
