With an outside diameter of 0.18 inches and a free length of 1 inch, this spring provides a spring rate of 3.52 lb\/in and a maximum work load of 1.94 pounds. Wire diameter is 0.02 inches. The stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and equipment repair professionals install this type of spring wherever consistent, repeatable return force is required in a compact form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is suited for residential and commercial applications requiring a miniature return or cushioning element. Typical installations include control linkages, valve assemblies, small appliance mechanisms, and precision instrumentation. The 3\/16 inch hole diameter fitment and 0.326 inch solid height make it compatible with tight-clearance installations where minimal travel and low load force are required. Sold in packages of 10, it is well suited for service shops and maintenance operations that need on-hand stock for recurring repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutside diameter of 0.18 inches fits 3\/16 inch hole diameter clearances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 3.52 lb\/in delivers consistent, predictable deflection force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load rated at 1.94 pounds for light-duty compression applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid or chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.326 inches allows use in tight-clearance assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackage quantity of 10 supports bench stock and multi-unit repair jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose miniature compression spring for light-duty mechanical, instrumentation, and industrial assembly applications where a 0.18 inch OD and 1 inch free length specification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall this spring in unpowered, de-energized assemblies only — disconnect and lock out all power sources before accessing any mechanism that houses the spring. Ensure the mating bore or guide pin matches the specified hole diameter of 3\/16 inch to prevent lateral buckling under load. Avoid compressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.326 inches during installation, as doing so can cause permanent set and reduce service life. A licensed mechanic or qualified maintenance technician should verify spring selection against the full assembly load requirements before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 1 inch\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: 3.52 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.94 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.326 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.188 inches (3\/16 inch)\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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 03307840\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698786271538,"sku":"03307840","price":17.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/69e27d2afef55754abde438f764053ae.jpg?v=1788367913","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-03307840-compression-spring-0-18in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
