Associated Spring Raymond 106-816 Die Spring Extra Heavy-duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 106-816 is an extra heavy-duty die spring designed for high-load tooling and stamping applications. It features a 2-inch hole diameter, a 1-inch rod diameter, and a 4-inch free length. The trapezoidal wire shape delivers a spring rate of 2,311 pounds per inch, with a maximum deflection load of 2,200 pounds and a maximum deflection of 1 inch. Constructed from chromium alloy steel, this spring is color-coded green per ISO die spring standards, making identification straightforward during setup and maintenance. It is installed by tool and die makers, press operators, and maintenance machinists working on stamping, forming, and progressive die tooling.

This spring is suited for heavy industrial press tooling where consistent, high-force return action is required. Typical applications include stripper plates, die cushions, and component ejection assemblies in metal stamping dies. The green color designation indicates extra heavy-duty load class, appropriate for applications demanding higher force output in a compact envelope. It is commonly specified in both OEM die builds and aftermarket tooling retrofits.

Key Features

• Extra heavy-duty load rating with a maximum deflection load of 2,200 pounds
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section increases load capacity and fatigue life compared to round wire
• Spring rate of 2,311 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable force output
• Chromium alloy steel construction provides strength and wear resistance under cyclic loading
• Green color coding follows ISO die spring classification for quick visual identification
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for extra heavy-duty die spring applications requiring a 2-inch hole diameter, 1-inch rod diameter, and 4-inch free length per ISO die spring dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die technicians during die assembly or maintenance. Always ensure the press or tooling is fully de-energized, depressurized, and mechanically blocked before removing or replacing die springs. Verify hole and rod clearances match the specified 2-inch hole diameter and 1-inch rod diameter before seating the spring. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 1 inch, as over-compression accelerates fatigue failure.
