Associated Spring Raymond 205-206 Die Spring Red Strong Duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 205-206 is a red-coded, strong-duty die spring manufactured from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section. It carries a free length of approximately 1.5 inches (38 mm) and a rod diameter of 6.30 mm, with a hole diameter of 12.50 mm. Rated to a maximum deflection load of 75.09 pounds (334 N) at full travel of 11.40 mm, this spring is built for high-load tooling applications where consistent force and reliable fatigue life are required. It conforms to ISO 10243 standards, making it a recognized choice across precision tooling and die operations.

Die springs in the strong-duty red category are commonly installed in stamping dies, injection molds, punch presses, and progressive tooling setups in manufacturing and fabrication environments. The 205-206 fits applications requiring a compact yet high-force spring element within standard die sets. Machinists, toolmakers, and die maintenance technicians typically specify this part when replacing worn or fatigued springs during die rebuilds or scheduled tooling maintenance.

Key Features

• Strong-duty rating with maximum deflection load of 75.09 pounds (334 N)
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance in cycling applications
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for increased load capacity relative to round-wire designs
• Red color coding for quick visual identification of strong-duty rating per ISO 10243
• Free length of approximately 1.5 inches (38 mm) with 11.40 mm maximum deflection travel
• ISO 10243 conforming design for interchangeability in standard die sets

Compatibility

Designed as an ISO 10243 conforming replacement die spring suitable for standard tooling applications requiring a 12.50 mm hole diameter, 6.30 mm rod diameter, and strong-duty red-class force rating.

Installation Notes

Die spring replacement is typically performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians during scheduled die rebuilds or corrective maintenance. Always de-energize and lock out all press or molding equipment before accessing the die set. Inspect the spring seat and guide rod for wear, scoring, or misalignment before installing the replacement spring. Never exceed the rated maximum deflection travel, as over-compression will reduce fatigue life and can cause premature spring failure.
