Associated Spring Raymond 206-205 Die Spring Yellow Extra Strong

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 206-205 is a yellow-coded, extra strong duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and stamping applications. Manufactured from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers greater load capacity per unit of compressed height compared to standard round-wire springs. With a free length of 1.25 inches (32.00 mm), a rod diameter of 6.30 mm, and a hole diameter of 12.50 mm, this spring fits precisely into standardized die sets. It is installed by toolmakers, die maintenance technicians, and precision machining professionals working on punch presses and progressive dies.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, injection mold assemblies, and precision fixture applications where consistent, repeatable force is required over extended cycle life. The yellow color coding identifies it as an extra strong duty rating, following ISO 10243 classification standards. It is appropriate for both production tooling environments and tool room applications requiring reliable spring-back force in tight dimensional envelopes.

Key Features

• Extra strong duty rating provides high load capacity in a compact free length of 1.25 inches
• Trapezoidal wire shape increases contact area and load density versus round-wire die springs
• Chromium alloy steel construction offers fatigue resistance under repeated deflection cycles
• Yellow color code follows ISO 10243 standard for easy duty-rating identification in the field
• Maximum deflection load of 78.95 pounds (351.20 N) at full 8.00 mm travel to solid
• Rod diameter of 6.30 mm and hole diameter of 12.50 mm suit standard ISO die set bores

Compatibility

Designed as an ISO 10243-compliant replacement die spring for standard tooling applications requiring a 12.50 mm hole diameter, 6.30 mm rod diameter, and 32.00 mm free length in the extra strong duty class.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press before accessing the die set. Ensure the spring seat bore and rod dimensions match the 12.50 mm hole diameter and 6.30 mm rod diameter specified for this part before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated travel-to-solid of 8.00 mm, as over-compression will accelerate fatigue and reduce service life.
