Associated Spring Raymond 206-524 Die Spring Extra Strong

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 206-524 is a heavy-duty die spring engineered for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial mold applications. Built to an Extra Strong duty rating with a trapezoidal wire profile, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 2413 newtons across 38 millimeters of travel. The chromium alloy steel construction provides high fatigue resistance under repeated cycling loads. At 152 millimeters free length, it fits a 25-millimeter hole diameter and is guided by a 12.5-millimeter rod. Conforming to ISO 10243, it is color-coded yellow for quick duty-class identification in the field.

This spring is suited for press and die tooling installations where consistent force output and long service life are required. Typical applications include stripper plates, blank holders, and ejector assemblies in stamping and forming dies. The Extra Strong duty class makes it appropriate for high-load, short-cycle operations common in production press environments. Toolmakers, die setters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• Extra Strong duty rating with 2413 N maximum deflection load
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity per unit length compared to round wire
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under high-cycle use
• ISO 10243 compliant - interchangeable with other ISO-standard die springs of the same class and size
• Yellow color coding for instant Extra Strong duty-class identification
• 38 mm maximum deflection with 38 mm travel to solid load

Compatibility

Designed as an ISO 10243 compliant Extra Strong die spring with a 25 mm hole diameter and 12.5 mm rod diameter, fitting standard die spring pockets of the same nominal bore in stamping and forming tooling.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance personnel familiar with press safety lockout procedures. Always relieve press tonnage and engage all mechanical safety blocks before replacing die springs. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 38 mm, as over-compression will reduce fatigue life and risk component failure. Inspect the mating rod and bore for burrs or misalignment before seating the spring to prevent premature wear.
