Associated Spring Raymond 203-108 Die Spring 2 in Green

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 203-108 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and industrial tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire shape that delivers higher load capacity and longer service life compared to round-wire alternatives. The spring has a free length of 2 inches (51 mm), a hole diameter of 10 mm, and a rod diameter of 5 mm. Rated at a spring rate of 28.55 N/mm with a maximum deflection of 20.90 mm and a maximum deflection load of 104.50 N, this green-coded unit falls in the light-load classification range. It is constructed from chromium alloy steel for consistent performance under repetitive cycling.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping and forming dies, injection mold tooling, and automated press equipment in both production and maintenance environments. The green color code allows technicians to quickly identify load class during die setup or spring replacement. Toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance mechanics working in manufacturing and fabrication shops are the primary installers of this spring type. It is appropriate for applications requiring controlled, repeatable spring force within a compact envelope.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load density and extended fatigue life compared to round-wire die springs
• Free length of 2 inches (51 mm) with a maximum deflection of 20.90 mm travel to solid
• Spring rate of 28.55 N/mm for predictable, consistent force output
• Green color coding for fast visual identification of load class during die maintenance
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability in cyclic industrial tooling environments
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems with TUV Rheinland registration

Compatibility

Designed as a standard die spring replacement conforming to ISO 10243 specifications, fitting tooling applications that require a 10 mm hole diameter and 5 mm rod diameter in the green light-load classification.

Installation Notes

Die spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians with the press or machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the mating bore and rod dimensions before installation to confirm proper fit and avoid side loading. Never exceed the rated maximum deflection, as compressing a die spring to solid will accelerate fatigue failure. Replace springs in matched sets when possible to maintain balanced die performance.
