Value Collection 03309184 Compression Spring 0.975 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03309184 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring consistent, repeatable force. With an outside diameter of 0.975 inches and a free length of 3 inches, this spring operates at a rate of 4.04 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 9.16 pounds. Wire diameter measures 0.062 inches. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making it suitable for environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and assembly professionals commonly install this type of spring in actuators, valves, latches, and general mechanical assemblies.

This compression spring fits applications where a 0.975-inch OD and a free length of 3 inches meet design requirements. The 1-inch hole diameter clearance allows straightforward installation into standard bores. With a solid height of 0.48 inches, it provides a defined stop point under full compression. Typical uses include light industrial equipment, HVAC damper assemblies, plumbing valve returns, and similar mechanical systems that require a consistent return force without heavy load demands.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.975 inches fits standard 1-inch bore holes
• 4.04 pounds per inch spring rate provides predictable, linear force response
• Maximum work load of 9.16 pounds suits light-duty mechanical applications
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Compact solid height of 0.48 inches limits stack dimension under full compression
• Wire diameter of 0.062 inches maintains structural consistency through repeated cycles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.975-inch OD, 3-inch free length, and 4.04 pound-per-inch spring rate in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard hand tools used for mechanical assembly work. Always relieve system pressure and de-energize any associated actuators or pneumatic lines before removing or installing springs. Confirm bore and shaft dimensions against spring OD and wire diameter to ensure proper seating without binding. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant mechanical codes when replacing springs in valve or actuator assemblies.
