Value Collection 06810246 Compression Spring 0.18in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810246 is a small compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical and industrial applications. It features a 0.18 inch outside diameter and a 0.5 inch free length, making it suitable for tight-clearance assemblies where space is limited. The spring is wound from 0.016 inch wire and delivers a spring rate of 4.18 lb/in with a maximum working load of 1.24 pounds. Licensed technicians, maintenance professionals, and precision assembly workers install this type of spring in equipment requiring controlled resistance and return force in compact spaces.

This compression spring fits applications where a small-diameter, light-load return or resistance element is needed. Typical uses include instrument panels, small actuators, valve assemblies, tool mechanisms, and other mechanical systems requiring a consistent compressive force. Its compact geometry makes it a common fit in both OEM manufacturing and field-replacement scenarios across industrial, HVAC, and mechanical maintenance environments. This spring is sold in packages of 10 units, with a minimum order of 1 package.

Key Features

• 0.18 inch outside diameter for tight-clearance installations
• 0.5 inch free length with a solid height of 0.129 inches
• Spring rate of 4.18 lb/in for predictable, consistent force output
• Maximum working load of 1.24 pounds
• 0.016 inch wire diameter for lightweight, compact construction
• Recommended hole diameter of 0.188 inches for proper seating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental component for mechanical assemblies requiring a small compression spring with a 0.18 inch outside diameter and 0.5 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Install by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Ensure the mating hole diameter is at or near 0.188 inches to maintain proper alignment and prevent buckling under load. Relieve any stored mechanical energy in the assembly before replacing compression springs. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.129 inches during installation or operation.
