With an outside diameter of 0.36 inches and a free length of 0.5 inches, this spring fits into tight assemblies where space is at a premium. It carries a maximum work load of 4.82 pounds and a spring rate of 20.17 pounds per inch, making it well-suited for applications where controlled, predictable deflection is critical. The 0.035-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction provide corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-exposed environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical assemblies, including valve mechanisms, instrumentation, latching hardware, and light-duty tooling fixtures. Its compact dimensions make it a practical choice for precision assemblies in both OEM manufacturing and MRO maintenance applications. The stainless steel material suits environments where mild corrosion resistance is required. It is packaged in quantities of 10, which is standard for bench-stock and small-batch assembly operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside diameter of 0.36 inches fits standard 0.375-inch (3\/8 inch) hole diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 20.17 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 4.82 pounds suitable for light-duty mechanical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.179 inches allows compact fully-compressed clearance in tight assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 10 for bench-stock and small-batch use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36-inch outside diameter and 0.5-inch free length with a 3\/8-inch hole diameter fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using standard hand tools. Verify the mating bore diameter and seat geometry before installation to ensure proper spring alignment and seating. Avoid overstressing the spring beyond its rated maximum work load, as this can cause permanent set. Inspect the mating surfaces for burrs or sharp edges that could damage the wire coils during compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20.17 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.82 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.179 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 03308160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51713495204146,"sku":"03308160","price":20.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2cac666571d10d2231d33e31e5f7b134.jpg?v=1788494117","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-03308160-compression-spring-0-36in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
