Value Collection 03308269 Compression Spring 0.36in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308269 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for use in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment where consistent force and corrosion resistance are required. With an outside diameter of 0.36 inches and a free length of 1.5 inches, this spring fits a 0.375-inch hole diameter and collapses to a solid height of 0.693 inches under full compression. The wire diameter measures 0.047 inches, the maximum work load is 10.91 pounds, and the spring rate is 14.94 pounds per inch. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and equipment fabricators install this type of spring in assemblies requiring reliable return force across repeated cycles.

This compression spring suits general mechanical and industrial applications where a small-diameter, moderate-load spring is needed. Typical install scenarios include valve assemblies, actuator returns, tooling fixtures, latches, and light-duty mechanical linkages. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature variation. It is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.36 inches fits a 0.375-inch clearance hole
• Spring rate of 14.94 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear force response
• Maximum work load of 10.91 pounds before reaching solid height
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Solid height of 0.693 inches limits travel and protects against over-compression
• Package quantity of 10 units supports batch repairs and assembly-line builds

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring suitable for mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment requiring a 0.36-inch OD spring with a 1.5-inch free length and a 14.94 pounds-per-inch spring rate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or equipment maintenance personnel. Relieve all stored mechanical energy and depressurize any related system before removing or installing compression springs. Verify that the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.375-inch hole diameter and that available travel does not drive the spring below its 0.693-inch solid height during normal operation. Stainless steel springs should not be mixed with incompatible metals in assemblies where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
