With an outside diameter of 0.18 inches and a free length of 0.50 inches, this spring fits tight-clearance applications where space is limited. The wire diameter measures 0.02 inches, delivering a spring rate of 8.17 pounds per inch and a maximum working load of 1.94 pounds. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making it suitable for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature cycling. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals select this spring for precision mechanical and electromechanical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is suited for use in small-scale mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, valves, switches, latches, and similar light-duty applications requiring controlled return force. The 0.18-inch OD is sized to fit a hole diameter of 0.188 inches, allowing it to seat securely in a bored pocket or housing. It is also compatible with guide pins or mandrels up to the appropriate inner diameter. Sold in packages of 10 units, this spring is practical for maintenance stock, prototype development, and low-volume assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside diameter of 0.18 inches fits tight bore pockets and housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 8.17 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear load response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum working load of 1.94 pounds suits light-duty compression applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.184 inches limits over-compression in constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 10 for maintenance and assembly stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose miniature compression spring for use in small mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, valves, and switch mechanisms where a 0.18-inch OD and 0.50-inch free length are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians using hand tools or precision pick-and-place equipment. Ensure the mating bore or housing diameter does not exceed 0.188 inches to maintain proper spring seating. Avoid over-compressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.184 inches, as this can cause permanent set and loss of load capacity. Verify the spring is fully seated and aligned axially before completing the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.50 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.17 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.94 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.184 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.188 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 03307824\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696630989106,"sku":"03307824","price":17.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/065ad1bf3e985871a165111ccffb02bc.jpg?v=1788344653","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-03307824-compression-spring-0-18in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
