Value Collection 03308608 Compression Spring 0.48in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308608 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for applications requiring reliable axial force resistance across a compact form factor. With an outside diameter of 0.48 inches and a free length of 2 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 11.04 lb/in and supports a maximum work load of 12.27 pounds. The 0.054-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction provide corrosion resistance and consistent performance. It is suitable for installation in mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, and light-duty hardware systems by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers.

This compression spring fits into holes up to 0.50 inches in diameter and collapses to a solid height of 0.752 inches under full load. It is commonly used in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where a compact, corrosion-resistant spring is needed. Typical applications include valve mechanisms, latching assemblies, and general-purpose spring-loaded hardware across a range of equipment types. These springs are sold in packages of 10 units, making them practical for service shops and assembly operations maintaining stock of standard hardware components.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Spring rate of 11.04 lb/in for predictable, linear compression force
• Maximum work load of 12.27 pounds for reliable performance within rated limits
• Outside diameter of 0.48 inches fits standard 0.50-inch holes
• Solid height of 0.752 inches limits deflection and prevents coil bind
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for shop stock and assembly use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression spring for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch outside diameter, 2-inch free length, and 11.04 lb/in spring rate in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating bore or housing diameter accommodates the 0.50-inch hole diameter clearance. Relieve all tension or pressure from the assembly before removing or installing springs. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.752 inches during installation or operation.
