Associated Spring Raymond 204-614 Die Spring 3.5 in Blue

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 204-614 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, presses, and tooling fixtures that demand consistent, repeatable force under cyclic compression loads. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers a spring rate of 394.57 N/mm across a free length of 3.5 inches (89 mm). The blue color coding identifies its load class at a glance, allowing technicians and tool-and-die professionals to quickly sort and verify spring selection during setup and maintenance. This spring is manufactured under an ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality system.

This die spring is suited for industrial tooling applications including progressive dies, blanking dies, forming dies, and injection mold assemblies. It fits into a 32 mm hole diameter and rides on a 16 mm rod diameter, making it compatible with standard metric die set configurations. Typical users include toolmakers, press operators, and maintenance technicians working in metal stamping, fabrication, and plastics processing environments where spring force consistency directly affects part quality and tool life.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity relative to round-wire springs of comparable size
• Blue color code identifies load class for fast visual verification during die setup
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under high-cycle compression duty
• Maximum deflection of 33 mm with a maximum deflection load of 2280.30 N
• Manufactured to ISO 10243 standard for die spring dimensions and performance
• Produced under ANAB Accredited, ISO 9001:2008, ISO/TS 16949:2009, and TUV Rheinland registered quality systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard metric die sets and tooling fixtures requiring a 32 mm hole diameter and 16 mm rod diameter, conforming to ISO 10243 die spring specifications.

Installation Notes

Die springs are typically installed and serviced by tool-and-die technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always de-energize and lock out the press before removing or replacing die springs, following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the mating hole and rod dimensions before installation to confirm proper fit and avoid lateral loading. Never exceed the rated maximum deflection of 33 mm, as compression beyond the travel-to-solid limit will damage the spring and surrounding tooling.
