Associated Spring Raymond 203-912 Die Spring 1 in

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 203-912 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial mold applications. It features a trapezoidal wire shape that provides greater load capacity per unit of compression compared to round-wire designs. The spring carries a maximum deflection load of 1274.67 pounds (5670 N) with a maximum deflection of 30 millimeters. It is manufactured from chromium alloy steel and finished in green to indicate its light-duty rating per ISO 10243 color-coding standards. Licensed toolmakers, die setters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This die spring is suited for light-duty press and die tooling where controlled, repeatable spring force is required over a defined stroke. The 1 inch free length, 63 mm hole diameter, and 38 mm rod diameter make it appropriate for standard tooling plates and die sets that require a compact spring element. It is commonly installed in progressive dies, blanking dies, stripper plates, and similar metal-forming tooling assemblies found in both job-shop and production-floor environments.

Key Features

• Light-duty rating per ISO 10243 - color-coded green for quick identification in multi-spring tooling setups
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section delivers higher load density compared to conventional round-wire die springs
• Maximum deflection load of 1274.67 pounds (5670 N) with 30 mm maximum deflection travel to solid
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under cyclic press loading
• 63 mm hole diameter and 38 mm rod diameter conform to standard die set bore and pin dimensions
• Conforms to ISO 10243 dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for light-duty stamping die and press tooling assemblies requiring a 63 mm hole diameter, 38 mm rod diameter, and 1 inch free length per ISO 10243 specifications.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press before removing or installing any tooling components. Ensure the die bore and guide rod dimensions match the spring hole and rod diameters before installation to prevent binding or buckling under load. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection to avoid permanent set or premature fatigue failure.
