Associated Spring Raymond 203-208 Die Spring 2 in Green

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 203-208 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, presses, and tooling fixtures where consistent, repeatable force is required. This spring features a trapezoidal wire shape that delivers a higher load capacity in a compact space compared to round-wire designs. With a 2-inch free length and a spring rate of 65.10 N/mm, the 203-208 provides controlled resistance through its full deflection range. It is manufactured from chromium alloy steel for durability under high-cycle fatigue conditions. Color-coded green for easy identification during tooling setup and maintenance.

This die spring is suited for installation in metal stamping, forming, and progressive die applications found in industrial manufacturing environments. The green color designation indicates its load classification within standard ISO 10243 die spring series, allowing toolmakers and maintenance technicians to quickly match replacement springs to existing tooling specifications. It is appropriate for use wherever a 12.50 mm hole diameter and 6.30 mm rod diameter are called out in the die design.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity versus round-wire springs of the same envelope size
• Green color code indicates load classification per ISO 10243 standards
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high-cycle fatigue resistance
• 2-inch (51.00 mm) free length with 20.90 mm maximum deflection to solid
• Maximum deflection load of 238.30 N at full travel
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for tooling applications requiring a 12.50 mm hole diameter, 6.30 mm rod diameter, and 2-inch free length per ISO 10243 green-series specifications.

Installation Notes

Die springs are typically installed and serviced by toolmakers or skilled maintenance technicians working on stamping and forming equipment. Always de-energize and lock out the press before removing or installing die springs. Confirm that the hole diameter and rod diameter in the tooling match the spring dimensions before installation. Never exceed the maximum deflection rating, as over-compression beyond the solid height will cause premature failure and potential tooling damage.
