Value Collection 03308087 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308087 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring consistent load resistance in a compact form factor. With an outside diameter of 0.3 inches and a free length of 0.5 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 77.98 lb/in and supports a maximum work load of 12.87 pounds. The 0.047-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction provide corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. This spring is used by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and equipment repair professionals working on precision spring-loaded assemblies.

This compression spring fits applications where a small-diameter, high-rate spring is needed within tight spatial constraints. Its 0.5-inch free length and 0.3-inch outside diameter make it well suited for use in instrumentation, valve assemblies, latching mechanisms, and light industrial equipment. The stainless steel material supports use in wet or chemically exposed environments where carbon steel springs would corrode prematurely. Sold in packages of 10, this spring is appropriate for both replacement and new assembly work.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.3 inches fits holes up to 0.313 inches in diameter
• Spring rate of 77.98 lb/in provides firm, consistent resistance in a compact length
• Maximum work load of 12.87 pounds within rated travel range
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Solid height of 0.311 inches for predictable deflection limits
• Sold in a quantity of 10 per package with a minimum order of 1 package

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.3-inch outside diameter spring with a 0.5-inch free length and a spring rate near 77.98 lb/in.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating bore or hole diameter accommodates at least 0.313 inches to allow proper spring seating without binding. De-energize or depressurize any system before replacing springs in valve or actuator assemblies. Verify that operating deflection does not compress the spring to solid height during normal use, as bottoming out will overload the spring and cause premature failure.
