Associated Spring Raymond R12-007 Gr Nitrogen Gas Spring

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND R12-007 GR is a compact nitrogen gas spring designed to deliver consistent, controlled force in tooling and die applications. With a 0.472-inch body diameter, a 0.28-inch maximum stroke, and a full-stroke force of 40 lbf, this spring provides reliable performance in tight spaces where conventional coil springs are impractical. An initial charge pressure of 1,050 psi and an initial spring force of 29 lbf give it a progressive force curve across the stroke range. The green color coding aids quick identification during setup and maintenance. This unit is suited for installation by tool-and-die makers, press technicians, and precision manufacturing professionals.

This nitrogen gas spring is intended for use in metal stamping dies, progressive dies, blanking tools, forming presses, and similar industrial tooling assemblies. Its compact 2.2-inch overall length and 1.85-inch body length make it well suited for applications where envelope space is limited. Operating temperature range spans 0 degrees F to 176 degrees F, supporting a broad range of shop floor and press environments. The M6 mounting hole thread size is a common standard in die tooling, simplifying integration into existing setups.

Key Features

• Full-stroke force of 40 lbf with an initial force of 29 lbf for a progressive force curve
• 1,050 psi initial nitrogen charge pressure for consistent, gas-powered actuation
• 0.472-inch body diameter and 2.2-inch overall length for compact, space-saving fitment
• 0.28-inch maximum stroke with a 0.236-inch rod diameter
• M6 mounting hole thread for straightforward integration into standard die tooling
• Green color coding for fast visual identification in multi-spring assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit nitrogen gas spring for metal stamping dies, progressive tooling, and precision press applications requiring a 12 mm body diameter and 7 mm stroke with M6 mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tool-and-die technicians or press maintenance personnel. Ensure the press ram is fully retracted and all stored energy in the tooling assembly is safely relieved before removing or installing any gas spring. Do not attempt to disassemble, recharge, or modify the nitrogen charge - servicing the internal gas charge requires specialized equipment and must follow the manufacturer's procedures. Verify the mounting hole thread engagement meets the minimum depth recommended for M6 fasteners to prevent pull-out under load.
