Value Collection 06810956 Compression Spring 0.3 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06810956 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring precise force control over a short travel range. The spring measures 0.3 inches in outside diameter with a 1-inch free length and a wire diameter of 0.032 inches. It delivers a spring rate of 9.27 pounds per inch and handles a maximum working load of 5.35 pounds. These specifications make it appropriate for instrumentation, small appliance mechanisms, valve assemblies, and similar applications where compact geometry and controlled deflection are required. Sold in a package of 10 units.

This compression spring fits into applications where a hole diameter of approximately 0.313 inches is available, making it straightforward to drop into bored housings or guided assemblies. It suits light-load scenarios in residential and commercial mechanical equipment, precision instruments, and general industrial hardware. The solid height of 0.334 inches defines the minimum compressed travel stop, which is a critical parameter when designing or servicing assemblies with hard stops. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on small mechanisms will find this spring useful for OEM-style replacements or new builds.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.3 inches fits standard bored housings up to 0.313 inches hole diameter
• Spring rate of 9.27 pounds per inch provides consistent, predictable deflection under load
• Maximum working load of 5.35 pounds suits light-duty mechanical and valve applications
• Wire diameter of 0.032 inches supports a solid height of 0.334 inches, setting a defined compressed limit
• Packaged in quantities of 10, practical for service kits or low-volume production builds

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light-load mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.3-inch outside diameter and 1-inch free length. Confirm hole diameter, solid height, and load requirements against your specific assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

Verify that the mating bore or guide rod dimensions match the spring outside diameter and wire size before assembly. Ensure the assembly allows adequate clearance above the solid height of 0.334 inches to prevent coil bind under maximum deflection. When replacing a spring in a pressurized or loaded mechanism, relieve all tension and de-energize any associated actuators before disassembly. Confirm the new spring rate and load rating match the original design specification to avoid altered operating behavior.
