Value Collection 06810642 Compression Spring 0.24 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810642 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and precision equipment applications. The spring measures 0.24 inches outside diameter with a free length of 0.875 inches and a wire diameter of 0.032 inches. It delivers a spring rate of 16.09 lb/in and handles a maximum work load of 6.59 pounds before reaching solid height. The solid height is 0.397 inches. This part is sold in a pack of 10, making it practical for bench stock or small-volume production use. Installation is handled by mechanical assemblers and technicians working with spring-loaded components in low-force applications.

This compression spring is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a small-envelope, low-load spring is required. Typical applications include valve mechanisms, actuators, switches, tooling jigs, and similar spring-loaded devices that require consistent return force within a confined space. The 0.25-inch recommended hole diameter provides a close-fit bore reference for housing design or replacement selection.

Key Features

• Spring rate of 16.09 lb/in for predictable, linear load response
• Maximum work load rated at 6.59 pounds
• Wire diameter of 0.032 inches for fine-coil construction
• Sold in a pack of 10 for bench stock or low-volume production use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch outside diameter and 0.875-inch free length with a recommended bore of 0.25 inches.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this size are typically installed by mechanical technicians or assemblers during equipment maintenance or fabrication. Confirm that the mating bore diameter and pocket depth match the spring dimensions before installation. Avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its rated maximum work load, as exceeding solid height can cause permanent set and loss of spring rate. Inspect seating surfaces for burrs or debris that could affect spring alignment or coil integrity.
