Associated Spring Raymond M2-007 Ye Nitrogen Gas Spring

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND M2-007 YE is a compact nitrogen gas spring designed for use in metal stamping dies, injection molds, and precision tooling fixtures. It provides consistent, controlled force through a self-contained nitrogen charge, eliminating the need for external hydraulic or pneumatic connections. The unit delivers an initial spring force of 450 lbf and a full stroke force of 689 lbf over a maximum stroke of 0.28 inches. The 0.98-inch body diameter and 2.2-inch overall length make it suitable for tight die cavities where space is limited. Licensed toolmakers and die maintenance technicians are the typical installers for this component.

This gas spring is used in progressive stamping dies, blanking dies, and forming tools across both low-volume prototype and high-volume production environments. Its yellow color coding aids in quick identification of the force range during die assembly and maintenance. The M6 mounting hole thread allows for straightforward integration into standard die plates. The 2,600 psi initial nitrogen charge and compact 1.85-inch body length suit applications where precise, repeatable force control is required in a minimal footprint.

Key Features

• Full stroke force of 689 lbf with an initial force of 450 lbf for predictable load progression
• 2,600 psi initial nitrogen charge pressure for consistent performance cycle to cycle
• 0.28-inch maximum stroke in a 2.2-inch overall length for compact die installations
• M6 mounting hole thread for direct integration into standard tooling plates
• Yellow color coding for fast visual identification of force range during die service
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 176 degrees F suits most production environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment for nitrogen gas spring applications requiring a 25 mm diameter, 7 mm stroke, and M6 mounting thread in metal stamping dies, injection molds, and precision tooling fixtures.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of nitrogen gas springs should be performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance technicians familiar with high-pressure gas components. Relieve all press and die pressure before removing or installing the spring, and confirm the mounting bore and thread engage cleanly before applying torque to the M6 mounting fastener. Never attempt to disassemble or recharge the nitrogen gas spring in the field, as the internal pressure presents a serious safety hazard. Follow applicable facility safety procedures and tooling OEM guidelines when servicing dies containing gas springs.
