Associated Spring Raymond 206-724 Die Spring Extra Strong

Product Description

The Associated Spring Raymond 206-724 is a heavy-duty die spring designed for use in tooling, stamping dies, and press applications where consistent, high-force compression is required. Rated Extra Strong with a maximum deflection load of 6,384 newtons and a maximum deflection of 38 millimeters, this spring is built to deliver reliable performance under demanding industrial cycle loads. Manufactured from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it provides greater load capacity per unit length compared to standard round-wire springs. The yellow color coding identifies it as Extra Strong per ISO 10243 standards. Licensed toolmakers, die setters, and precision machining professionals are the primary installers.

This die spring fits applications requiring a 40 mm hole diameter and a 20 mm rod diameter with a free length of 152 mm. It is suited for use in stamping dies, injection molds, punching fixtures, and similar precision tooling assemblies in both production and maintenance environments. The Extra Strong duty rating makes it appropriate for high-load, high-cycle operations where lighter-duty springs would fatigue prematurely.

Key Features

• Extra Strong duty rating with a maximum load of 6,384 newtons at full deflection
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load density compared to round-wire designs
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability in repetitive-cycle tooling applications
• Yellow color coding per ISO 10243 for quick duty-class identification in the field
• 38 mm maximum deflection with 152 mm free length for predictable travel-to-solid performance
• UNSPSC code 31161905 for streamlined procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit die spring for tooling assemblies requiring a 40 mm hole diameter, 20 mm rod diameter, and 152 mm free length in Extra Strong duty per ISO 10243.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed and serviced by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians. Before replacing a die spring, de-energize and lock out the press or machine per your facility lockout/tagout procedure. Ensure the rod and bore surfaces are clean and within the specified diameter tolerances to prevent side-loading, which accelerates fatigue. Never compress this spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 38 mm or operate it at travel-to-solid under load.
