Value Collection 03309234 Compression Spring 0.975in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03309234 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for industrial, mechanical, and light commercial applications requiring reliable axial load resistance. With an outside diameter of 0.975 inches and a free length of 2.5 inches, this spring delivers a maximum work load of 13.92 pounds and a spring rate of 7.96 pounds per inch. The 0.072-inch wire diameter provides consistent coil tension across the compression range. It is suitable for use by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and trade professionals working on equipment requiring precise spring-loaded components.

This compression spring is used in a wide range of residential and commercial mechanical assemblies, including valve assemblies, actuators, latching mechanisms, and general-purpose equipment requiring controlled return force. Its solid height of 0.538 inches and hole diameter clearance of 1.0 inch make it straightforward to specify into standard spring pockets or guided assemblies. Stainless steel construction suits environments with moderate corrosion exposure. This item is sold in a package quantity of 5 springs per order.

Installation Notes

Install and remove compression springs only after depressurizing or de-energizing the assembly being serviced. Verify that the spring pocket or guide rod dimensions match the specified hole diameter and wire gauge before installation to prevent binding or buckling under load. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or releasing the spring during service. Consult equipment manufacturer documentation for spring seating depth and preload requirements specific to the application.
