Value Collection 06810378 Compression Spring 0.18in Od 10 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810378 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and precision instruments. The spring measures 0.18 inches outside diameter with a free length of 0.375 inches and a wire diameter of 0.026 inches. It delivers a spring rate of 32.65 pounds per inch and handles a maximum working load of 4.33 pounds. The solid height is 0.19 inches and the recommended hole diameter for installation is 0.188 inches. Sold in a package of 10, this part is appropriate for machinists, maintenance technicians, and assemblers working with small-scale mechanical components.

This compression spring is intended for use in compact mechanical applications where consistent return force and precise dimensional tolerances are required. Typical installation scenarios include tooling and fixture design, valve mechanisms, latch assemblies, and small equipment housings in both industrial and commercial settings. The small OD and short free length make it suitable for space-constrained spring pockets or bore-mounted applications.

Key Features

• Wire diameter of 0.026 inches for light-duty load applications
• Sold in a package of 10 units to support bench stock and small-quantity needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and precision instrumentation where an 0.18-inch OD spring pocket and 0.375-inch free length are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using standard hand tools. Verify the mating bore or spring pocket diameter against the recommended hole diameter of 0.188 inches before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.19 inches during assembly or operation, as this can cause permanent set and reduce service life. Always de-energize or relieve pressure from the host assembly before servicing spring components.
