Value Collection 06810881 Compression Spring 0.3 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810881 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies and precision equipment. It measures 0.3 inches in outside diameter with a 1 inch free length and is wound from 0.026 inch wire. The spring delivers a rate of 4.43 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 3 pounds. Its compact solid height of 0.239 inches makes it a practical choice where space is limited. Technicians and assemblers working on instrumentation, small appliances, valves, latches, or similar hardware will find this spring a direct-fit candidate for standard compression applications.

This spring is commonly used in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a small, consistent compression element is required. Typical applications include valve return mechanisms, latch assemblies, switch contacts, and small tool or instrument components. It fits into a hole diameter of 0.313 inches, making it straightforward to seat in bored or drilled housings without modification. The package contains 10 springs, making it practical for service technicians who need spares on hand or for small production runs requiring consistent quantities.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers working on the specific equipment requiring this spring. Relieve all tension or pressure from the assembly before removing or replacing a compression spring to prevent uncontrolled release. Verify that the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.313 inch hole diameter recommendation before seating the spring. Confirm the spring is fully seated and aligned with the load axis before returning the assembly to service.
