Value Collection 03307980 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307980 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring consistent return force and corrosion resistance. With an outside diameter of 0.24 inches, a free length of 1.5 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.032 inches, this spring is suited for compact mechanisms where space and load tolerances are tightly controlled. The spring rate of 7.56 lb/in and a maximum work load of 5.49 pounds make it appropriate for precision applications in instrumentation, valves, latches, and general mechanical assemblies. Stainless steel construction provides resistance to moisture, mild chemicals, and temperature variation. Sold in a package quantity of 10.

This compression spring is used in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies, light industrial equipment, fluid control valves, electronic enclosures, and HVAC or plumbing component subassemblies. Its small diameter and moderate spring rate suit applications where controlled deflection under low to moderate loads is required. The hole diameter clearance of 0.25 inches allows installation over small guide pins or within bored housings. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working with precision mechanical components are the typical end users.

Key Features

• 1.5 inches free length with a solid height of 0.653 inches for defined compression range
• Spring rate of 7.56 lb/in provides predictable, linear load response
• Maximum work load of 5.49 pounds suits light-duty return and retention applications
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moist or chemically exposed environments
• Package quantity of 10 supports service inventory and small production runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression spring suitable for use in light mechanical assemblies, valve components, and instrumentation requiring a 0.24-inch OD spring with a 1.5-inch free length and 0.25-inch hole diameter fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, or maintenance technicians. Ensure the mating bore or guide pin dimensions are verified against the spring outside diameter and hole diameter before installation to prevent binding or misalignment. De-energize or depressurize any system before replacing springs in valve or actuator assemblies. Avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.653 inches, which can cause permanent set and reduce service life.
