Associated Spring Raymond 206-708 Die Spring 2.5 in Yellow

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 206-708 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and tooling fixtures where consistent, repeatable force is required. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a spring rate of 3585.40 N/mm and a maximum deflection load of 8164 newtons. The yellow color coding indicates its load category within the ISO 10243 standard series. It is typically installed and serviced by tool and die makers, maintenance machinists, or industrial equipment technicians.

This spring is suited for use in punch-and-die tooling, injection mold components, and industrial press fixtures requiring controlled compression travel. With a free length of 2.5 inches (51.00 mm), a rod diameter of 20.00 mm, and a hole diameter of 40.00 mm, it fits standard die set configurations where precision spring placement and load consistency are critical. It is commonly found in both OEM tooling builds and maintenance replacement applications across metal fabrication and plastics processing environments.

Key Features

• Trapezoidal wire shape provides higher load capacity relative to round wire springs of equivalent envelope size
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under cyclic compressive loading
• Yellow color coding per ISO 10243 for quick load-category identification
• Maximum deflection of 13.00 mm with a travel-to-solid load of 13.00 mm
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS 16949:2009 quality systems with TUV Rheinland registration and ANAB accreditation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance spare for standard die spring applications conforming to ISO 10243 specifications with a 40.00 mm hole diameter and 20.00 mm rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tool and die technician or industrial maintenance machinist. Before replacing a die spring, de-energize and lock out the press or mold machine per your facility lockout/tagout procedures. Verify the rod and hole diameters of the tooling fixture match the spring dimensions before seating. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection of 13.00 mm in service, as operating a die spring beyond its rated travel accelerates fatigue failure.
