Associated Spring Raymond 205-624 Die Spring Red Strong Duty

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 205-624 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and stamping applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, it delivers consistent force output under repeated compression cycles. The spring measures 32 mm (approximately 1.26 inches) hole diameter, 16 mm (approximately 0.63 inches) rod diameter, and 152 mm (approximately 5.98 inches) free length. Rated as a Strong-duty spring with a maximum deflection load of 806.61 pounds (3,588 N) and a travel-to-solid of 46 mm (approximately 1.81 inches), it is sized for demanding press tooling where reliable spring return is critical. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and press maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This die spring is designed for use in progressive dies, punching tools, stripping applications, and other precision metalworking fixtures where consistent spring force and long cycle life are required. The red color designation follows ISO 10243 classification for Strong-duty springs, making it straightforward to identify the load class during tooling maintenance or replacement. Typical installations include horizontal or vertical spring pockets in die sets used across light and heavy manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Strong-duty rating with a maximum deflection load of 806.61 pounds (3,588 N)
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for increased load capacity versus round-wire designs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under high-cycle fatigue conditions
• Red color coding per ISO 10243 for easy identification of duty class
• 46 mm (approximately 1.81 inches) maximum deflection and travel to solid
• Complies with ISO 10243 dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for tooling applications requiring a 32 mm hole diameter, 16 mm rod diameter, and 152 mm free length conforming to ISO 10243 Strong-duty specifications.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified tool and die makers or press maintenance technicians familiar with stamping die assemblies. Always de-energize and lock out the press before servicing or replacing springs in a die set. Ensure the spring pocket depth and rod clearance match the spring dimensions to prevent binding or premature coil contact. Do not compress beyond the rated maximum deflection to avoid permanent set or premature failure.
