Associated Spring Raymond 206-812 Die Spring Extra Strong

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 206-812 is an extra-strong duty die spring designed for high-load tooling and stamping applications. Built from chromium alloy steel, this spring features a trapezoidal wire cross-section that maximizes load capacity within a compact envelope. It carries a free length of 3.5 inches (76 mm), a hole diameter of approximately 1.969 inches (50 mm), and a rod diameter of approximately 0.984 inches (25 mm). The yellow color coding identifies it as extra-strong duty per ISO 10243 standards. It is appropriate for installation in precision die sets, molds, and fixture tooling where consistent, high-force spring return is required.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, injection molds, progressive dies, and similar industrial tooling assemblies. It fits standard die spring pockets machined to ISO 10243 specifications. Typical installers include tool-and-die makers and industrial maintenance technicians working on press tooling, fixturing, and mold maintenance. The yellow extra-strong designation places it in the highest standard-duty category for ISO die springs of this dimensional class.

Key Features

• Extra-strong duty rating delivers a maximum deflection load of 2,443.22 lb (10,868 N)
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section increases load capacity compared to round-wire designs of the same envelope
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated high-cycle loading
• Yellow color coding provides quick visual identification per ISO 10243 duty classification
• Maximum deflection (travel to solid) of 0.748 inches (19 mm)
• Conforms to ISO 10243 for interchangeability with other ISO-spec die springs

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or standard-fit die spring for ISO 10243-compliant die sets and tooling pockets with a 50 mm hole diameter and 25 mm rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by tool-and-die technicians with the press or tooling fully depressurized and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Ensure the spring pocket and rod dimensions match the specified hole and rod diameters before installation. Do not exceed the rated maximum deflection to avoid permanent set or premature fatigue failure. Inspect springs regularly in high-cycle applications and replace at the first sign of cracking, deformation, or length loss.
