Value Collection 03308038 Compression Spring 0.3in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308038 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant fastening or return element. With an outside diameter of 0.3 inches and a free length of 2 inches, this spring delivers a maximum work load of 1.19 pounds and a spring rate of 0.82 pounds per inch. The 0.02-inch wire diameter keeps the profile slim while the stainless steel construction provides durability in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. Mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and OEM equipment builders commonly work with springs in this size class.

This spring fits applications where a small-bore compression spring is needed for light tensioning, return actuation, or load-bearing in mechanical assemblies. The 0.313-inch hole diameter and 0.249-inch solid height make it suitable for use in valves, jigs, fixtures, hinges, and general industrial or trade equipment. It is sized for use in applications requiring a 5/16-inch hole diameter. This item is sold in packages of 10 units.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• 0.3-inch outside diameter fits standard 5/16-inch bore holes (0.313-inch hole diameter)
• 2-inch free length with a compact 0.249-inch solid height
• Spring rate of 0.82 pounds per inch for predictable, consistent deflection under load
• Maximum work load of 1.19 pounds suitable for light-duty return and tensioning use
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for bench stock and assembly line use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for mechanical assemblies requiring a compression spring with a 0.3-inch outside diameter and 2-inch free length in a 5/16-inch bore.

Installation Notes

Install and remove compression springs using appropriate hand tools; avoid over-compressing beyond the solid height to prevent set and permanent deformation. Ensure the mating bore and shaft dimensions match the spring outside diameter and wire gauge before installation. Wear appropriate eye protection when handling compressed springs, as sudden release can cause injury.
