Associated Spring Raymond R19-038 Ye Nitrogen Gas Spring

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND R19-038 YE is a nitrogen gas spring designed for use in tooling, die, and press applications where consistent, maintenance-free force is required. The spring features a 0.748-inch body diameter and delivers 202 lbf of initial force, rising to 270 lbf at full stroke. Maximum stroke is 1.5 inches, with an overall length of 4.65 inches and a body length of 3.07 inches. The unit is pre-charged to 2,600 psi with nitrogen gas and is color-coded yellow for quick identification in multi-spring setups. Installation is performed by tooling engineers and die maintenance technicians.

This nitrogen gas spring is suited for stamping dies, progressive dies, and similar metal-forming fixtures in industrial manufacturing environments. It replaces conventional coil springs in applications requiring constant force output across the stroke range. The yellow color code indicates the specific force rating, making it easy to sort and match springs when building or servicing die sets. The M6 mounting hole thread size allows direct integration into standard tooling plates.

Key Features

• 270 lbf force at full stroke, 202 lbf initial force for predictable load curves
• Pre-charged to 2,600 psi - no external pressurization required at installation
• 0.748-inch body diameter with 0.315-inch rod diameter and M6 mounting thread
• 1.5-inch maximum stroke in a compact 4.65-inch overall length package
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 176 degrees F
• Yellow color coding for fast force-rating identification in multi-spring tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement nitrogen gas spring for stamping dies, progressive dies, and press tooling applications requiring a 19 mm diameter, 38 mm stroke gas spring with M6 mounting thread.

Installation Notes

Nitrogen gas springs must be installed by qualified tooling or die maintenance personnel familiar with high-pressure spring systems. De-energize and lock out all press equipment before removing or installing gas springs. Do not attempt to disassemble, re-charge, or modify the pre-charged nitrogen chamber in the field without proper equipment and training. Inspect the rod and sealing surfaces for contamination before installation to prevent premature seal wear.
