Associated Spring Raymond 205-108 Die Spring 2 in Red

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 205-108 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, molds, and precision tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers consistent force output and extended fatigue life compared to round-wire alternatives. It has a free length of 2 inches (51 millimeters), a rod diameter of 5 millimeters, and a hole diameter of 10 millimeters. The red color coding indicates its load category per ISO 10243 standards. Licensed toolmakers, die setters, and precision manufacturing technicians typically specify and install this part.

This die spring is suited for use in progressive dies, compound dies, injection molds, and similar tooling where controlled spring return force is required. It fits applications where a 10-millimeter bore and 5-millimeter rod are present. The red load designation places it in a medium-load range appropriate for moderate-force stripping, ejection, and clamping functions within metal stamping and plastic molding operations. Maximum deflection is 15.30 millimeters, aligning with the travel-to-solid load value for this spring rate.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity and longer service life than standard round-wire die springs
• Chromium alloy steel construction resists fatigue and deformation under repeated cycling
• Red color code designates load class per ISO 10243 for quick visual identification during die setup
• Free length of 2 inches (51 mm) with a spring rate of 73.09 N/mm for predictable force output
• Maximum deflection load of 195.80 N at full 15.30 mm travel to solid
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008, ISO/TS 16949:2009, and TUV Rheinland registered quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for ISO 10243-compliant die springs with a 10-millimeter hole diameter, 5-millimeter rod diameter, and 2-inch free length in the red load category.

Installation Notes

Die springs of this type are installed by toolmakers or die setters during die build or maintenance. Ensure the mating bore and rod dimensions match the spring specifications before installation. Never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as overcompression accelerates fatigue failure. Inspect for cracking, set, or color change at scheduled die maintenance intervals.
