Value Collection 03307899 Compression Spring 0.24in Od Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307899 is a small-diameter compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and intended for light-duty mechanical, instrumentation, and assembly applications. It measures 0.24 inches outside diameter with a 0.5-inch free length and a wire diameter of 0.02 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 4.88 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 1.47 pounds before reaching solid height. The solid height is 0.133 inches. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and light chemical exposure, making this spring suitable for environments where carbon steel would degrade. Sold in packages of 10 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

This compression spring fits applications requiring a compact, low-force return or retention element. Typical uses include light mechanical assemblies, electronic enclosures, instrumentation housings, valves, and small precision devices where a consistent spring rate in a confined space is required. The 0.25-inch hole diameter specification and 0.24-inch outside diameter allow installation into bored or machined pockets in both metal and plastic components. This part is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, assemblers, and mechanical engineers working in industrial, commercial, or OEM production settings.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, humid, or mildly chemical environments
• 0.24-inch outside diameter fits a 0.25-inch bore hole for secure pocket seating
• 4.88 lb/in spring rate delivers consistent, predictable return force
• 1.47-pound maximum work load rating for light-duty compression applications
• 0.02-inch wire diameter enables tight coil geometry and a compact 0.133-inch solid height
• Packaged in quantities of 10 to support small-batch repair or production runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension compression spring for general mechanical and light industrial applications requiring a 0.24-inch outside diameter and 0.5-inch free length stainless steel spring.

Installation Notes

Install using hand tools or standard spring insertion fixtures appropriate for small-diameter coil springs. Confirm bore diameter matches the specified 0.25-inch hole diameter before installation to prevent binding or lateral deflection. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.133 inches during assembly, as doing so will cause permanent set and reduce service life. When working within larger mechanical or electrical assemblies, de-energize or depressurize the system before disassembly and spring replacement.
