Value Collection 06810394 Compression Spring 0.18in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810394 is a small-diameter compression spring sold in packs of 10, designed for light-load mechanical applications where precise force and deflection characteristics are required. With an outside diameter of 0.18 inches, a free length of 0.625 inches, and a spring rate of 17.81 pounds per inch, this spring delivers consistent, repeatable compression performance in compact assemblies. Wire diameter is 0.026 inches, keeping the spring lightweight and suitable for tight housings. Technicians, machinists, and assembly professionals working in HVAC actuators, small appliance mechanisms, or precision hardware will find this spring appropriate for applications demanding controlled return force.

This compression spring is intended for use in residential and light commercial assemblies where small-form compression elements are required. Typical applications include valve actuators, switch mechanisms, instrument hardware, and small machine assemblies. The compact outside diameter and low solid height make it suitable for use inside narrow bores or housings with limited axial space. It is packaged in a quantity of 10 units per pack to support service inventory and bench-level repair work.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.18 inches suits tight bore and housing fits
• Spring rate of 17.81 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear compression force
• Maximum work load of 4.33 pounds keeps this spring suited for light-duty applications
• Wire diameter of 0.026 inches allows use in compact, fine-tolerance assemblies
• Solid height of 0.286 inches limits coil bind in short-stroke applications
• Sold in packs of 10 to support service and repair inventory needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or service compression spring for light-load mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18-inch outside diameter and 0.625-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or assembly professionals using standard hand tools. Confirm the bore or housing diameter does not exceed the maximum hole diameter of 0.188 inches to ensure proper spring retention. De-energize or depressurize any assembly before removing or installing compression springs to prevent unexpected release of stored energy. Verify free length and spring rate match the original design specification before installation.
