Value Collection 03308681 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308681 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for general industrial and mechanical applications. It measures 0.6 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 2 inches and a wire diameter of 0.041 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 3.11 pounds per inch and supports a maximum working load of 4.68 pounds. Its stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where moisture, chemicals, or temperature cycling are a concern. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and field service professionals working on light-load compression applications will find this spring a reliable replacement or service component.

This compression spring is suited for use in light-duty compression applications across industrial equipment, HVAC assemblies, fluid handling devices, and general mechanical assemblies. The 0.625-inch hole diameter clearance and 0.337-inch solid height make it a practical fit for compact spring cavities where dimensional consistency is critical. It is typically installed in applications requiring consistent, repeatable return force at low to moderate deflection ranges.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Spring rate of 3.11 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear compression force
• Maximum working load of 4.68 pounds suitable for light-duty compression duty
• Outside diameter of 0.6 inches fits standard 0.625-inch hole diameter cavities
• Solid height of 0.337 inches allows installation in shallow spring pockets
• Free length of 2 inches provides adequate travel range for most light-load assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6-inch outside diameter and 2-inch free length specification.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression springs should be performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assembly procedures. Always relieve any preload or tension from the assembly before removing or installing the spring. Verify the mating bore diameter and pocket depth against the spring outside diameter and solid height before installation to prevent binding or overcompression. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
