Value Collection 03309168 Compression Spring 0.975 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03309168 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment requiring consistent return force. With a 0.975-inch outside diameter and a 2-inch free length, this spring delivers a spring rate of 6.2 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 9.16 pounds. The 0.062-inch wire diameter provides a balance of flexibility and load-bearing capacity. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making this spring suitable for environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern. Licensed mechanics, machine technicians, and maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

This compression spring fits applications where a 0.975-inch OD and 2-inch free length are specified, including industrial equipment, HVAC component assemblies, valves, and general mechanical fixtures. The 1.0-inch hole diameter clearance allows for straightforward installation into standard receiving bores. It is sold in a package quantity of 5, making it practical for service calls or shop stock where multiple replacements may be needed at once.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression spring replacement for mechanical assemblies specifying a 0.975-inch OD, 2-inch free length, and 0.062-inch wire diameter with a stainless steel material requirement.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers working on equipment that requires spring replacement. De-energize or fully de-pressurize the assembly before removing or installing springs to prevent injury from stored mechanical energy. Verify that the receiving bore diameter accommodates the 1.0-inch hole diameter specification before seating the spring. Confirm that the assembled load does not exceed the 9.16-pound maximum work load rating for the application.
