Associated Spring Raymond 206-104 Die Spring Extra Strong

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 206-104 is a die spring engineered for high-load tooling applications where consistent force and fatigue resistance are critical. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers an extra-strong duty rating suited to demanding press and die work. It carries a free length of 25 millimeters (approximately 1 inch), a rod diameter of 5 millimeters, and a hole diameter of 10 millimeters. At maximum deflection of 6.20 millimeters, the spring produces a load of 228.20 N (51.30 lb.). The yellow color designation identifies the extra-strong duty class per ISO 10243 standards. Licensed toolmakers, die setters, and precision machinists are the primary installers of this component.

This die spring is used in stamping dies, punch presses, injection molds, and related tooling assemblies that require a compact, reliable spring element in a guided rod-and-hole configuration. The 10 mm hole diameter and 5 mm rod diameter suit standard ISO-dimensioned die sets commonly found in light-to-medium industrial tooling. It is appropriate for both new tooling builds and maintenance replacement in existing die assemblies operating at extra-strong load requirements.

Key Features

• Extra-strong duty rating per ISO 10243, identified by yellow color coding
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section maximizes load capacity within a compact envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue life under cyclic loading
• 25 mm free length with 6.20 mm maximum deflection travel to solid
• Maximum deflection load of 228.20 N (51.30 lb.) for predictable force output
• 10 mm hole diameter and 5 mm rod diameter for standard ISO die set fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for ISO 10243-compliant die and punch tooling assemblies requiring an extra-strong duty die spring with a 10 mm hole diameter, 5 mm rod diameter, and 25 mm free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Always depressurize and lock out the press before accessing the die set. Ensure the mating rod and hole dimensions match the spring specifications to prevent side-loading and premature fatigue failure. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated travel-to-solid dimension during setup or operation.
