Associated Spring Raymond 206-732 Die Spring Yellow Extra Strong

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 206-732 is an extra-strong die spring designed for use in stamping dies, press tooling, and other industrial machinery applications requiring reliable, high-cycle compression force. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, this spring delivers a maximum deflection load of 6,732 newtons over a maximum deflection of 51 mm. The yellow color coding identifies it as an extra-strong duty rating per ISO 10243 standards. It carries a free length of 10 inches (203 mm), a hole diameter of 40 mm, and a rod diameter of 20 mm. Licensed tooling and maintenance technicians familiar with die and press maintenance are the primary installers.

This die spring is suited for high-load stamping, punching, forming, and die return applications in industrial manufacturing environments. The extra-strong duty rating makes it appropriate where lighter-duty springs would experience premature fatigue or insufficient return force. Its ISO 10243 compliance means it is a direct-fit candidate for tooling designed to that international standard. Both OEM die builders and maintenance machinists working on production presses commonly specify this spring series.

Key Features

• Extra-strong duty rating for high-load stamping and forming applications
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability and fatigue resistance
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section provides higher load capacity per unit length compared to round wire
• Yellow color coding identifies duty rating at a glance per ISO 10243
• 6,732 N maximum deflection load with 51 mm maximum travel to solid
• ISO 10243 compliant for direct specification into standardized tooling designs

Compatibility

Designed as an ISO 10243-compliant replacement or original-fit die spring for stamping dies and press tooling requiring a 40 mm hole diameter, 20 mm rod diameter, and 10-inch free length in the extra-strong duty class.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified toolmakers or maintenance machinists familiar with press tooling. Always relieve all stored energy and ensure the press ram is fully supported before removing or installing die components. Springs should be seated squarely on the rod and within the counterbore to prevent side loading, which accelerates fatigue failure. Never compress a die spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 51 mm.
