Value Collection 03307808 Compression Spring 0.18in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307808 is a small-diameter stainless steel compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical and industrial applications. With an outside diameter of 0.18 inches, a free length of 1 inch, and a wire diameter of 0.016 inches, this spring is engineered for precision fitment in tight assemblies. It delivers a spring rate of 1.65 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 1.03 pounds. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. This spring is typically installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working on equipment that requires consistent, repeatable spring tension in compact spaces.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in a wide range of light-load mechanical assemblies, instrumentation hardware, HVAC actuators, valve assemblies, and similar applications where a small-format spring with defined load characteristics is required. It fits holes with a diameter of 0.1875 inches (3/16 inch) and compresses to a solid height of 0.22 inches. Sold in packages of 10, it suits both single-use repair work and low-volume production tasks. Minimum order quantity is 1 package.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation in wet or chemically active environments
• 0.18 inch outside diameter fits precision assemblies and 3/16 inch bore holes
• Spring rate of 1.65 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear deflection under load
• Maximum work load rated at 1.03 pounds for light-duty applications
• Solid height of 0.22 inches limits over-compression in constrained installations
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for repair stock or small-batch assembly use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension compression spring suitable for light-load mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18 inch OD and 1 inch free length specification.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize or shut down the equipment being serviced before removing or installing springs in mechanical assemblies. Verify that the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.18 inch OD without binding, and confirm the solid height of 0.22 inches does not exceed the available compressed travel in the assembly. Use appropriate hand tools and wear eye protection when handling small compression springs under load, as they can release unexpectedly during installation or removal.
