Associated Spring Raymond 204-208 Die Spring Medium-duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 204-208 is a medium-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, molds, and tooling applications where consistent, repeatable force is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers higher load capacity in a compact envelope compared to round-wire designs. It has a free length of 2 inches (51 mm), a rod diameter of 6.30 mm, and a hole diameter of 12.50 mm. At maximum deflection of 19.40 mm, it generates up to 67.60 pounds (300.70 N) of load. The blue color coding identifies it as a medium-duty rating per ISO 10243 standards.

This die spring is suited for use in progressive dies, injection molds, punch and die assemblies, and fixture tooling found in metalworking and manufacturing environments. Its trapezoidal wire geometry allows more material to be packed into the coil, which increases fatigue life under cyclic loading. Tool and die makers, moldmakers, and maintenance machinists working in industrial production settings are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load density and extended fatigue life compared to round-wire die springs
• Medium-duty rating color-coded blue per ISO 10243 for quick visual identification
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic compressive loads
• 19.40 mm maximum deflection with a maximum load of 67.60 pounds (300.70 N)
• Fits a 12.50 mm hole diameter with a 6.30 mm rod diameter for standard die set configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for standard tooling applications requiring a medium-duty, blue-coded spring with a 12.50 mm hole diameter, 6.30 mm rod diameter, and 51 mm free length per ISO 10243 specifications.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by tool and die makers or maintenance technicians during die set assembly or spring replacement. Always de-energize and lock out the press before servicing any die components. Ensure the rod and hole diameters of the die set match the spring specifications before installation. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection, as over-compression reduces fatigue life and can cause premature failure.
