Associated Spring Raymond 206-506 Die Spring Yellow Extra Strong

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 206-506 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for high-load tooling and press applications. It features a trapezoidal wire shape and is manufactured from chromium alloy steel, delivering extra strong duty performance. The spring has a 25.00 mm hole diameter, a 12.50 mm rod diameter, and a free length of 38.00 mm (1-1/2 inches). At maximum deflection of 9.50 mm, it sustains a load of 3287.00 N. The yellow color coding indicates extra strong duty rating per ISO 10243 standards. This spring is installed by toolmakers, die setters, and precision machine technicians working with stamping dies, punch presses, and similar equipment.

The 206-506 die spring is suited for use in stamping dies, forming dies, and injection mold tooling where consistent, reliable spring force is required under repetitive cycling conditions. Its chromium alloy steel construction resists fatigue and deformation over extended service life. The extra strong duty classification makes it appropriate for applications requiring higher load capacity within a compact free length envelope. Typical installations include stripping springs in progressive dies and return springs in punch and die assemblies.

Key Features

• Extra strong duty rating - color coded yellow per ISO 10243
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load density compared to round wire designs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
• 25.00 mm hole diameter and 12.50 mm rod diameter for precise die alignment
• 9.50 mm maximum deflection with 3287.00 N maximum deflection load
• Free length of 38.00 mm (1-1/2 inches) suitable for compact tooling envelopes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment die spring for stamping, forming, and punch press tooling assemblies requiring an extra strong duty spring with a 25.00 mm hole diameter and 12.50 mm rod diameter per ISO 10243 specifications.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed and replaced by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press before accessing the die set. Verify that the rod and hole clearances match the spring dimensions to prevent buckling or binding during compression. Inspect for fatigue cracks or permanent set at scheduled maintenance intervals, and never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection.
