Value Collection 06810873 Compression Spring 0.3 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810873 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and precision equipment. With an outside diameter of 0.3 inches and a free length of 0.75 inches, this spring is designed to absorb axial load and return to position under cycling conditions. The wire diameter measures 0.026 inches, yielding a spring rate of 6.02 lb/in and a maximum work load of 3 lb. These parameters make it a reliable choice for applications where consistent, repeatable force is required within a compact space. Each package contains 10 springs.

This compression spring fits into applications across general mechanical assembly, instrumentation, light industrial equipment, and small appliance manufacturing. The 0.313-inch hole diameter and 0.189-inch solid height allow for predictable stack behavior and easy integration into bored housings or guided assemblies. Technicians working on precision equipment, jigs, or spring-loaded mechanisms will find the consistent spring rate and compact free length useful for controlled-force applications requiring minimal footprint.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.3 inches fits standard bored housings up to 0.313 inches
• Spring rate of 6.02 lb/in provides consistent, predictable force over the compression range
• Maximum work load of 3 lb suits light-duty and precision applications
• Wire diameter of 0.026 inches supports fine-pitch coil construction for compact assemblies
• Solid height of 0.189 inches and free length of 0.75 inches allow accurate travel calculation
• Sold in a pack of 10 for stocking and replacement use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.3-inch outside diameter and 0.75-inch free length. Suitable for any application where spring rate, maximum load, and dimensional envelope align with the specifications listed.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or machinists integrating springs into guided assemblies or spring-loaded mechanisms. Ensure the mating bore or guide rod is dimensionally compatible with the specified hole diameter and wire size before installation. Avoid compressing the spring beyond its solid height to prevent coil bind and permanent set. Inspect seating surfaces for burrs or misalignment that could cause uneven load distribution during operation.
