Value Collection 03308343 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308343 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for applications requiring consistent load resistance within a compact form factor. With an outside diameter of 0.42 inches and a free length of 1.5 inches, this spring delivers a maximum work load of 4.17 pounds and a spring rate of 4.02 pounds per inch. The 0.035-inch wire diameter provides the structural integrity needed for moderate-duty cycling. Stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding or moisture-exposed environments. This spring is appropriate for use by mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and precision assembly trades.

This compression spring fits installations where a small-diameter, short-travel spring is required. Typical applications include valve mechanisms, instrument assemblies, light industrial equipment, and general-purpose mechanical assemblies that call for a 0.42-inch OD spring. The 7/16-inch hole diameter clearance dimension and 0.343-inch solid height make it well suited to close-tolerance hardware applications. Each package contains 10 springs with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals during equipment assembly or repair. Ensure the mating bore or housing inner diameter accommodates the 0.438-inch hole clearance before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing or installing springs in live assemblies. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.343 inches during installation or operation.
