Associated Spring Raymond 206-610 Die Spring Extra Strong

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 206-610 is an extra-strong die spring designed for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial machinery requiring consistent, high-force return energy. It features a 32.00 mm hole diameter, a 16.00 mm rod diameter, and a free length of 2-1/2 inches (64.00 mm). The trapezoidal wire cross-section maximizes load capacity within the spring envelope. At full deflection of 16.00 mm, it delivers a maximum load of 4,307.20 N. Constructed from chromium alloy steel, this spring is built to handle the cyclic loading demands found in high-production die applications. The yellow color coding identifies it as an extra-strong duty rating per ISO 10243.

This die spring is suited for installation in punch and die sets, injection molds, and progressive tooling across both light manufacturing and heavy industrial press operations. It fits standard die spring pockets sized for a 32.00 mm outer diameter. Toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance technicians working on stamping and forming equipment are the primary installers. The ISO 10243 designation makes it a recognized metric standard component, compatible with internationally dimensioned tooling.

Key Features

• Extra-strong duty rating per ISO 10243 color-coded yellow for quick field identification
• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load capacity compared to round-wire springs of the same envelope size
• 32.00 mm hole diameter and 16.00 mm rod diameter for precise fit in standard die pockets
• Maximum deflection load of 4,307.20 N at 16.00 mm travel to solid
• Chromium alloy steel construction for fatigue resistance under cyclic press loads
• Free length of 2-1/2 inches (64.00 mm) suits a wide range of die plate thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for tooling applications requiring an ISO 10243 extra-strong spring with a 32.00 mm outer diameter and 16.00 mm rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Die spring replacement is typically performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians with the press fully de-energized and all stored energy released before disassembly. Ensure the spring pocket depth and rod clearance match the specified hole and rod diameters before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated 16.00 mm maximum deflection, as overloading will reduce fatigue life and may cause premature failure. Inspect the mating rod and pocket surfaces for wear or damage before seating the new spring.
