Value Collection 03308582 Compression Spring 0.48in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308582 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring consistent load resistance across a short travel range. With a 0.48-inch outside diameter and a 1-inch free length, this spring delivers a spring rate of 23.42 lb/in and a maximum load capacity of 12.27 pounds. The 0.054-inch wire diameter keeps the profile compact while maintaining structural integrity under repeated compression cycles. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and service professionals working with small mechanical subassemblies will find this spring appropriate for precise load-bearing applications.

This compression spring is suited for use in small mechanical devices, industrial equipment, and trade tooling where a consistent return force and controlled deflection are required. The stainless steel construction makes it resistant to corrosion in mildly wet or humid service environments. It fits into holes up to 0.5 inches in diameter and reaches a solid height of 0.411 inches at full compression. It is sold in a package of 10 units, making it practical for bench stock replenishment or recurring repair use.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or mildly wet environments
• Spring rate of 23.42 lb/in supports consistent, predictable deflection under load
• Maximum work load of 12.27 pounds before reaching solid height
• 0.48-inch outside diameter fits holes up to 0.5 inches in diameter
• Solid height of 0.411 inches limits over-compression in constrained assemblies
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for bench stock and service inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement compression spring for small mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch outside diameter, 1-inch free length, and 23.42 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Install and service by qualified mechanical technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Ensure all energy is removed from the assembly and any surrounding components are depressurized or de-energized before replacing springs. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when handling compressed springs, as stored energy can cause rapid release. Verify seat geometry and hole diameter clearance before installation to prevent buckling or misalignment under load.
