Associated Spring Raymond 203-832 Die Spring 8 in Green

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 203-832 is a light-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, molds, and metal-forming tooling. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, this spring delivers consistent force and deflection performance in demanding production environments. It carries an 8-inch (203 mm) free length and a 25 mm rod diameter, with a maximum deflection load rated at 801.22 pounds (3,564 N). The green color coding identifies it as a light-duty rating per ISO 10243 standards, making it straightforward to select and sort in tool rooms and on the shop floor. Die makers and tooling technicians are the primary installers.

This spring is suited for use in progressive dies, compound dies, and injection molds where controlled return force and repeatable stroke behavior are required. Its trapezoidal wire cross-section increases the contact area per coil compared to round wire, improving load capacity within a given envelope. The 81 mm maximum deflection and matched travel-to-solid load make it appropriate for tooling applications that require a predictable, full-stroke spring element in light-duty press operations.

Key Features

• Light-duty load rating with maximum deflection load of 801.22 pounds (3,564 N)
• 8-inch (203 mm) free length for compatibility with standard die set configurations
• Trapezoidal wire shape increases load capacity relative to round wire in the same space envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic compression loads
• Green color coding conforms to ISO 10243 for easy duty-rating identification
• 81 mm maximum deflection with travel-to-solid load matched to deflection stroke

Compatibility

Designed as an ISO 10243-compliant light-duty die spring for use in stamping dies, molds, and similar tooling assemblies requiring a 50 mm hole diameter and 25 mm rod diameter fitment.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by toolmakers or tool room technicians during die build or maintenance. Before replacing a spring in a press die, ensure the press is fully de-energized, the ram is blocked, and all stored energy in the tooling is relieved. Verify that the bore diameter and rod diameter of the tool match the spring specifications before installation, and do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as over-compression can cause permanent set or failure.
