Associated Spring Raymond 205-714 Die Spring 3.5 in Red

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 205-714 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in metal stamping dies, punch presses, and industrial tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section that maximizes load capacity within a compact envelope. The spring has a free length of 3.5 inches (89 mm), a rod diameter of 20 mm, and a hole diameter of 40 mm. Constructed from chromium alloy steel and finished in red, this part meets the ISO 10243 standard for die springs and is backed by ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certifications. It is designed for consistent, repeatable performance under high-cycle press conditions.

This die spring is suited for installation in metal stamping and forming tooling where a red-series (heavy load) spring is specified. The red color designation indicates a higher load class within the ISO 10243 die spring classification system. Typical applications include stripper plates, pad retainers, and pressure pads in progressive and compound dies. The 40 mm hole diameter and 20 mm rod diameter make it compatible with standard die set configurations at this size range. Tool and die makers and press maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire profile provides higher load capacity compared to round-wire springs of the same envelope size
• Free length of 3.5 inches (89 mm) with a maximum deflection of 27 mm to solid
• Maximum deflection load of 5,130 N at full travel
• Spring rate of 1,084.93 N/mm for predictable, linear force output
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under high-cycle fatigue conditions
• Manufactured to ISO 10243 standards and produced under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as an ISO 10243 red-series die spring for use in standard tooling applications requiring a 40 mm hole diameter and 20 mm rod diameter at a 3.5 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed and serviced by tool and die makers or press maintenance personnel. Before servicing or replacing die springs, the press must be locked out and tagged out in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Springs should be installed within the specified hole and rod diameter tolerances to prevent lateral loading and premature fatigue. Never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection, as exceeding travel-to-solid load limits will accelerate fatigue failure.
