Associated Spring Raymond 205-424 Die Spring Red Strong

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 205-424 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in metal stamping, punch press, and tooling die applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, this spring delivers consistent force and fatigue resistance under cyclic loading conditions. It carries a strong duty rating and reaches a maximum deflection load of 291.62 pounds (1297.20 N) at full travel. The red color coding follows ISO 10243 standards, making quick identification of duty class straightforward during tool setup and maintenance. This part is typically installed by toolmakers, die setters, and precision machining professionals.

This die spring is suited for stamping dies, injection molds, jigs, and fixtures where reliable spring return force is required. With a 20 mm hole diameter and 10 mm rod diameter, it is sized for common die set configurations. The 152 mm free length and 46 mm maximum deflection make it appropriate for moderate-stroke tooling applications in both production and prototype shop environments.

Key Features

• Strong duty rating with maximum deflection load of 291.62 pounds (1297.20 N)
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under cyclic loads
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section increases load capacity relative to round-wire springs of equivalent size
• Red color coding per ISO 10243 for fast duty-class identification
• 46 mm maximum deflection with 46 mm travel to solid load
• UNSPSC Code 31161905 for catalog and procurement classification

Compatibility

Designed as an ISO 10243-compliant die spring for standard die sets and tooling applications requiring a 20 mm hole diameter, 10 mm rod diameter, and 152 mm free length in the strong duty (red) class.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified toolmakers or die setters familiar with press tooling assembly procedures. Always relieve all press pressure and lock out the ram before removing or installing die springs. Never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as overtravel can cause premature fatigue failure. Inspect springs for set, cracking, or corrosion at each die maintenance interval.
