Associated Spring Raymond 020068000 Compression Spring

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 020068000 is a compression spring manufactured from spring steel, designed for use in mechanical assemblies that require consistent, predictable linear force resistance. It features a 5/8 inch outside diameter and a free length of 2-27/32 inches (2.8440 inches overall), with a wire diameter of 0.0800 inches and a spring rate of 30 pounds per inch. This part is suited for OEM replacement or new assembly work in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical applications where a compact, medium-duty compression spring is required. Mechanical technicians, assemblers, and field service professionals are the typical installers.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in equipment and assemblies that require a controlled compression force over a short travel range. Its spring steel construction provides durability under repeated load cycles and resistance to deformation. Typical applications include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, access panels, latching hardware, and similar components found in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and light industrial machinery. The minimum order quantity is 12 units, making it suitable for service shops and assembly operations that require stock quantities.

Key Features

• Spring steel construction provides strength and fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
• 30 lb per inch spring rate delivers consistent, measurable linear force response
• 5/8 inch outside diameter fits standard spring pockets and guide pins in common assemblies
• 2-27/32 inch free length suits medium-travel compression applications
• 0.0800 inch wire diameter balances flexibility and load capacity for medium-duty use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for mechanical assemblies requiring a compression spring with a 5/8 inch outside diameter and 30 lb per inch spring rate.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by mechanical technicians and field service professionals. Always de-energize or depressurize the equipment and relieve any stored mechanical energy before removing or installing springs. Use appropriate safety glasses and hand protection, as compressed springs can release energy suddenly if mishandled. Verify that the replacement spring matches the free length, outside diameter, wire diameter, and spring rate of the original before installation.
