Value Collection 06810345 Compression Spring 0.18 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810345 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and precision instruments. It measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter and 0.875 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.02 inches and a solid height of 0.29 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 4.86 lb/in and handles a maximum working load of 2.33 pounds. This part is sold in a package of 10 units, making it practical for bench stock or multi-unit repair jobs handled by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in applications requiring a small-envelope spring with consistent force characteristics. Typical install scenarios include light mechanical linkages, valve returns, electrical contact assemblies, and small tool or fixture components. The 0.188-inch hole diameter spec makes it straightforward to select a guiding post or housing bore. Both OEM replacement work and prototype assembly are common use cases for this spring size and rate.

• 2.33-pound maximum working load suits light-duty return and contact applications
• Wire diameter of 0.02 inches with a solid height of 0.29 inches
• Recommended hole diameter of 0.188 inches for guided installations
• Sold in a package of 10 for bench stock or multi-point assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light mechanical, tooling, and instrumentation applications requiring an 0.18-inch OD and 4.86 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Before servicing any assembly containing this spring, de-energize or depressurize the host system per its service documentation. When installing in a guided application, verify the guide post or bore matches the 0.188-inch hole diameter recommendation to prevent buckling or side-loading. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.29 inches during assembly or operation.
