SPEC CATALOG<br />
Put America's largest spring maker at your service.<br />
What is SPEC?<br />
SPEC offers the world's largest inventory of stock springs <strong>and</strong> spring washers,<br />
with over 100 million compression, extension, torsion <strong>and</strong> constant-force springs,<br />
as well as belleville, finger, wave <strong>and</strong> curved spring washers. You can choose<br />
from over 10,000 part numbers, all designed <strong>and</strong> produced to the highest<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ards.<br />
SPEC grew out of our experience in designing, making <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ling millions<br />
of spring parts over the years. As a result, each part is precision engineered,<br />
manufactured using the finest quality steels <strong>and</strong> meets the tightest quality<br />
requirements. But SPEC also consists entirely of "off-the-shelf" parts -- easily<br />
identified, compared, selected <strong>and</strong> ordered <strong>and</strong> always readily available for<br />
shipment. Switch to "just-in-time" deliveries of zero-defect parts directly from<br />
stock with SPEC, <strong>and</strong> be certain you will receive Associated <strong>Spring</strong> Raymond's<br />
world class service every time.<br />
Why use SPEC?<br />
1. Save design work: you do not have to design a spring for your application.<br />
Simply use the SPEC catalog to identify the part required.<br />
2. Save delivery time: all our parts are stock items. Your order is processed<br />
<strong>and</strong> shipped quickly, usually within 24 hours.<br />
3. Save money: no setup or tooling charges are involved, because each item<br />
is st<strong>and</strong>ard.<br />
4. Efficiency: ordering from the catalog is fast <strong>and</strong> easy. On-line buying at<br />
www. asraymond.com (available in the US) is even easier.<br />
5. Repeatability: again <strong>and</strong> again our parts will meet the same quality<br />
requirement, because the specifications are st<strong>and</strong>ard.<br />
Special Order Services<br />
Our Special Order Departments h<strong>and</strong>le orders for one to a few thous<strong>and</strong> custom<br />
springs <strong>and</strong> metal parts. If you are looking for a special spring that you cannot<br />
find in the following pages, let us know, <strong>and</strong> we'll design it for you. Same thing<br />
should you need a specific process or finish for your SPEC part (see page 222).<br />
We welcome experimental <strong>and</strong> prototype orders because we know that if a starter<br />
order of springs helps you early in the development stage of your product, <strong>and</strong><br />
your product is successful, our springs are successful too. This is an excellent<br />
way to put our size, resources, experience <strong>and</strong> expertise as America's largest<br />
spring maker at your service. When you deal with Associated <strong>Spring</strong> Raymond<br />
for starter <strong>and</strong> small orders at prototype time, you have confidence that we can<br />
follow you right into production, supplying consistent quality parts to your<br />
delivery requirements.<br />
A note about this catalog<br />
You will find the SPEC catalog a fast <strong>and</strong> easy source for components. Throughout<br />
this catalog, all SPEC Part Numbers are listed sequentially <strong>and</strong> the imperial<br />
(inches) <strong>and</strong> metric measurements are listed side by side to make selecting<br />
the right components easier.<br />

HOW TO ORDER YOUR SPEC ITEMS<br />
Call Associated <strong>Spring</strong> Raymond to help you<br />
define your needs<br />
When use SPEC?<br />
1. Prototype <strong>and</strong> development work: when precise specifications are difficult<br />
to establish, order small quantities of several items <strong>and</strong> determine the best<br />
one by trial – at a very low cost. We have even created packaged assortments<br />
of our most popular sizes (see page 180) for your convenience.<br />
2. Maintenance <strong>and</strong> repair: down time is expensive. Keeping a variety of SPEC<br />
parts on h<strong>and</strong> helps you get equipment back in operation fast. Our packaged<br />
assortments come in h<strong>and</strong>y here as well.<br />
3. Small production runs: st<strong>and</strong>ard springs <strong>and</strong> washers are usually much<br />
cheaper than specials. They are produced in large volumes, <strong>and</strong> their tooling<br />
costs have been amortized over millions of units.<br />
4. Emergency production use: as all our parts are stock items <strong>and</strong> readily<br />
available, they can be shipped immediately in order to keep production lines<br />
running <strong>and</strong> downtime to a minimum.<br />
5. Model shops: having a wide assortment of springs <strong>and</strong> washers available<br />
is a good practice for those dem<strong>and</strong>ing projects <strong>and</strong> unexpected situations.<br />
