Associated Spring Raymond 206-306 Die Spring Extra Strong

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 206-306 is an extra strong die spring designed for use in stamping dies, presses, and tooling applications requiring reliable compression force in a compact package. It features a 16.00 mm hole diameter, an 8.00 mm rod diameter, and a free length of 1-1/2 inches (38.00 mm). Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire profile, it delivers a maximum deflection load of 685.00 N and a maximum deflection of 9.50 mm, making it well suited for high-load, high-cycle tooling environments. The yellow color coding identifies it as an extra strong duty rating per ISO 10243 standards.

This die spring is used in industrial tooling, metal stamping, punch and die assemblies, and fixture applications where consistent spring force and long fatigue life are required. It is appropriate for both OEM die builds and maintenance replacement in production tooling. Installation and specification work is typically performed by tool-and-die makers, machine builders, or maintenance technicians working on press tooling.

Key Features

• Extra strong duty rating for high-load tooling applications
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity versus round wire
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance and durability
• Yellow color coding per ISO 10243 for quick duty-rating identification
• ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing
• TUV Rheinland registered and ANAB accredited quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as an ISO 10243-compliant die spring for use in standard die spring pockets with a 16.00 mm hole diameter and 8.00 mm rod diameter across compatible stamping and tooling assemblies.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified tool-and-die or maintenance personnel with the press or tooling fully de-energized and at a safe working position. Confirm pocket diameter and rod diameter match the spring dimensions before installation. Never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 9.50 mm, as overstressing will reduce fatigue life and may cause premature failure. Follow applicable machine safety standards during press maintenance.
