Value Collection 06810188 Compression Spring 0.12 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810188 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and precision equipment. The spring measures 0.12 inches in outside diameter and 0.625 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.02 inches. It carries a maximum work load of 3.4 pounds and delivers a spring rate of 16.31 pounds per inch. These dimensions make it a practical choice for applications where space is constrained and consistent return force is needed. Sold in a package of 10 units, this spring is appropriate for maintenance technicians, machinists, and assembly professionals working with small mechanical components.

This compression spring fits applications requiring a compact, low-load return or positioning element. Typical use cases include instrument panels, small valves, latching mechanisms, and light-load plunger assemblies found in industrial equipment, HVAC controls, and electrical enclosures. The 0.125-inch hole diameter fitment spec makes it compatible with sleeved or guided pin assemblies of that bore size. The 0.342-inch solid height provides a known compression limit for travel-restricted installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12 inch outside diameter and 0.625 inch free length form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, mechanical technicians, or maintenance professionals during assembly or repair of small mechanism subassemblies. Before servicing any spring-loaded assembly, relieve any stored mechanical energy and confirm all power or fluid pressure to the system is isolated. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or seating small springs, as they can eject under load. Verify the mating bore or pin diameter matches the specified hole diameter of 0.125 inches before installation.
