Value Collection 06810279 Compression Spring 0.18in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810279 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies across maintenance, repair, and original equipment applications. It measures 0.18 inches outside diameter and 0.875 inches free length, with a wire diameter of 0.016 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 2.28 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 1.24 pounds. Its compact geometry and consistent coil profile make it a reliable choice for precision mechanisms where space and force requirements are tightly controlled. Licensed tradespeople and MRO technicians typically source this spring in multi-pack quantities for bench stock or service kits.

This compression spring fits light mechanical and instrumentation applications where a small OD and short free length are required. Common use cases include valve mechanisms, switch actuators, latching assemblies, and small appliance components. The 0.1880-inch hole diameter fit and 0.197-inch solid height allow predictable stack-up calculations in confined cavities. It is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for shop stock or low-volume production runs.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring an outside diameter of 0.18 inches and a free length of 0.875 inches.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this size are typically installed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers during component repair or equipment build. Ensure the mating bore and rod dimensions match the hole diameter fit and wire clearance before installation. Avoid overcompressing the spring past its solid height of 0.197 inches to prevent set and premature failure. Handle fine-wire springs with care to avoid kinking or distortion during assembly.
