Associated Spring Raymond 203-606 Die Spring 1.5 in Green

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 203-606 is a green-coded die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and tooling fixtures where consistent, repeatable force is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a spring rate of 536.75 N/mm across a maximum deflection of 15 mm. The free length is 1-1/2 inches (38 mm), the rod diameter is 16 mm, and the hole diameter is 32 mm. Green color coding indicates a light-to-medium load range per ISO 10243 standards. Toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance machinists are the primary installers of this component.

This die spring is suited for installation in injection molds, progressive dies, stamping presses, and similar metal-forming or plastic-processing tooling. The 16 mm rod diameter and 32 mm hole diameter make it compatible with standard ISO 10243 die spring pockets commonly found in production tooling across light manufacturing and heavy industrial applications. It is appropriate for both new die builds and replacement of worn or fatigued springs during scheduled tooling maintenance.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire shape increases coil contact area for higher load capacity compared to round-wire springs of the same envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under high-cycle tooling conditions
• Green color code identifies light-to-medium load classification per ISO 10243
• Maximum deflection load of 1,410 N at full 15 mm travel to solid
• Conforms to ISO 10243 and manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems
• TUV Rheinland registered and ANAB accredited production standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement die spring conforming to ISO 10243 specifications for 16 mm rod diameter and 32 mm hole diameter applications in standard tooling and die systems.

Installation Notes

Die spring replacement is performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Always fully de-energize and lock out the press or molding machine before accessing the die set. Inspect the spring pocket and rod for wear, scoring, or misalignment before installing the new spring, as a damaged pocket can cause premature spring failure. Never compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 15 mm.
