Value Collection 06810253 Compression Spring 0.18 in Od 10 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810253 is a small-diameter compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring precise load and deflection characteristics. With an outside diameter of 0.18 inches, a free length of 0.625 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.016 inches, this spring delivers a rated spring rate of 3.27 lb/in and a maximum work load of 1.24 lb. The compact solid height of 0.152 inches makes it suitable for tight assemblies with limited travel. Sold in a package of 10 units, this spring is commonly installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople working on precision equipment, instruments, valves, or small mechanical devices.

This compression spring is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a small, consistent return force is required. Typical use cases include valve actuators, switch mechanisms, instrument housings, and small pneumatic or fluid control components. The 0.188-inch hole diameter clearance spec supports straightforward pin or post installation. The spring is packaged in quantities of 10, making it practical for bench stock or low-volume service work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or tradespeople during assembly, repair, or maintenance of small mechanical devices. Ensure the mating bore or post dimensions are verified against the hole diameter clearance of 0.188 inches and the outside diameter of 0.18 inches before installation. Relieve any stored energy or pressure in the assembly before replacing compression springs. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.152 inches during installation or operation.
