Value Collection 06810196 Compression Spring 0.12 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810196 is a small-diameter compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring consistent return force in a compact form factor. With an outside diameter of 0.12 inches and a free length of 0.75 inches, this spring fits tight-clearance assemblies where space is limited. The wire diameter measures 0.02 inches, yielding a spring rate of 13.33 lb/in and a maximum work load of 3.4 pounds. These springs are commonly installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and industrial service professionals working on precision equipment, instrumentation, or light machinery.

This compression spring is suited for residential and commercial applications where small-profile springs are required in tooling fixtures, electronic assemblies, valves, latches, and similar mechanisms. Each order ships in a pack of 10 springs, making it practical for service kits or bench stock. The 0.125-inch hole diameter clearance and 0.405-inch solid height make it straightforward to specify into existing assemblies without modification.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.12 inches fits tight-bore and small-clearance installations
• Spring rate of 13.33 lb/in delivers predictable, linear return force
• Maximum work load rated at 3.4 pounds for light-duty applications
• Wire diameter of 0.02 inches supports compact, low-profile spring geometry
• Solid height of 0.405 inches and free length of 0.75 inches for easy dimensional verification
• Sold in a pack of 10 for bench stock or service kit use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring suitable for light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, valves, and similar applications requiring a 0.12-inch OD spring with a 0.75-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating bore or guide pin dimensions are verified against the 0.125-inch hole diameter and 0.12-inch OD before installation. Relieve any tension or load from the assembly before replacing compression springs to avoid sudden release of stored energy. Confirm the installed spring does not exceed its maximum work load of 3.4 pounds in the intended application.
