Value Collection 06810071 Compression Spring 0.12 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810071 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring consistent, repeatable return force. With an outside diameter of 0.12 inches and a free length of 1 inch, this spring is designed for compact installations where space is constrained. The wire diameter measures 0.012 inches, delivering a spring rate of 1.43 lb/in and a maximum work load of 0.83 lb. Sold in a pack of 10, this part is appropriate for technicians and assemblers working on precision equipment, instrumentation, or small mechanical linkages that demand reliable elastic performance.

This compression spring is intended for use in light mechanical applications across HVAC controls, instrumentation panels, small appliance assemblies, and similar equipment where a low-load return spring is required. The 0.12-inch outside diameter fits a hole diameter of 0.125 inches, making it straightforward to seat in a drilled or machined pocket. The solid height of 0.234 inches defines the minimum compressed dimension, which is useful when designing or evaluating travel limits in the assembly.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.12 inches fits a 0.125-inch hole diameter for positive pocket seating
• Spring rate of 1.43 lb/in provides predictable, linear deflection characteristics
• Maximum work load rated at 0.83 lb, suitable for light-duty return and retention functions
• Wire diameter of 0.012 inches supports fine-pitch coil construction for compact assemblies
• Solid height of 0.234 inches establishes the minimum compressed length for travel calculations
• Packaged in a quantity of 10, reducing per-unit cost for service and repair stock

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12-inch OD, 1-inch free length, and 1.43 lb/in spring rate. Confirm hole diameter, solid height, and load requirements against your specific assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

De-energize or fully disassemble the host equipment before replacing any internal spring components. Verify the seating pocket depth and hole diameter against the spring's solid height and outside diameter prior to installation. Use appropriate hand tools or spring installation tools to compress and seat the spring without over-stressing the coils beyond the rated maximum work load. Consult the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for torque and assembly sequence requirements.
