Value Collection 03309028 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03309028 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for applications requiring consistent axial load resistance in a compact form factor. With an outside diameter of 0.85 inches and a free length of 1 inch, this spring delivers a spring rate of 26.58 lb/in and a maximum work load of 15.88 pounds. The 0.072-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction make it suitable for environments where corrosion resistance and reliable deflection characteristics are required. Mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and OEM production teams are the typical end users for this type of hardware component.

This compression spring fits applications across industrial machinery, HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, and general mechanical systems where a small-diameter, moderate-load spring is needed. Its 0.875-inch hole diameter fit and 0.329-inch solid height make it well suited for guided spring installations in tight clearance environments. The package includes 5 springs per unit, making it practical for bench stock, service kits, or low-volume assembly runs.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or harsh environments
• Spring rate of 26.58 lb/in for predictable, linear deflection behavior
• Maximum work load of 15.88 pounds before reaching solid height
• Outside diameter of 0.85 inches fits standard guided spring bores
• Compact 1-inch free length suits space-constrained assemblies
• Packaged in quantities of 5 for bench stock or service kit use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.85-inch OD, 1-inch free length spring with a 26.58 lb/in rate. Verify bore clearance, solid height, and work load requirements against your application before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers familiar with spring-loaded component systems. Always depressurize or de-energize the assembly before removing or installing compression springs to prevent unexpected release of stored energy. Use appropriate tools to compress the spring safely during seating, and confirm the spring is fully seated in its bore or on its post before reassembling the mechanism.
