Associated Spring Raymond M2-080 Ye Nitrogen Gas Spring

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND M2-080 YE is a nitrogen gas spring designed for use in metal stamping dies, press tooling, and industrial fixturing applications. Pre-charged with nitrogen at 2,600 psi initial charge pressure, it delivers 450 lbf at initial stroke and builds to 683 lbf at full stroke, providing consistent, controlled force throughout the stroke cycle. The spring measures 0.98 inches in diameter and 8.07 inches overall length with a body length of 4.84 inches, making it compact enough for integration into tight die sets. Yellow color coding aids quick identification of the force class during setup and maintenance. Installation and specification work is typically handled by tool-and-die technicians and mechanical engineers.

This nitrogen gas spring is suited for metal stamping, deep drawing, blanking, bending, and forming operations where a consistent, controlled return force is required. The 3.15-inch maximum stroke accommodates a wide range of die applications in both high-volume production and job-shop environments. The compact 25 mm diameter body fits standard nitrogen gas spring pockets used across common die designs.

Key Features

• 683 lbf full stroke force with 450 lbf initial force for progressive force delivery
• 2,600 psi initial nitrogen charge pressure for consistent performance
• 3.15 inches maximum stroke supports a wide range of die configurations
• 0.98 inch (25 mm) diameter fits standard die pocket sizing
• Yellow color coding identifies the force class at a glance during die setup
• Compact 4.84 inch body length enables integration into space-constrained tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial die sets and press tooling that accept a 25 mm diameter nitrogen gas spring with a standard pocket configuration.

Installation Notes

Nitrogen gas springs must be installed and serviced by qualified tool-and-die technicians or mechanical maintenance personnel familiar with high-pressure gas components. Relieve all press pressure and de-energize associated equipment before removal or installation. Do not attempt to disassemble or recharge the spring without proper nitrogen charging equipment and training, as internal pressures are hazardous. Consult the die design specifications and the manufacturer service documentation for pocket dimensions and mounting requirements before installation.
