Value Collection 06811285 Compression Spring 0.36in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06811285 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and equipment maintenance applications. It measures 0.36 inches outside diameter with a 0.5-inch free length and is wound from 0.035-inch wire. The spring delivers a rate of 20.17 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 5.79 pounds. These are the key parameters to match when cross-referencing a replacement or spec-in for a new design. Sold in a pack of 10, the 06811285 is a practical choice for bench stock and small-quantity production needs.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in general industrial, mechanical, and light commercial applications where a compact, low-load spring is required. Typical use cases include valve assemblies, latching mechanisms, switch returns, and tooling components. The small OD and short free length make it a candidate for confined cavities where space is limited. Technicians and maintenance professionals working in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, or general machinery often carry springs in this size range for common service calls.

Key Features

• 0.36-inch outside diameter fits a 0.375-inch hole diameter for guided installations
• 0.5-inch free length suits compact assemblies with minimal travel requirements
• 20.17 lb/in spring rate provides predictable, consistent load response
• 5.79 lb maximum work load appropriate for light-duty mechanical applications
• 0.035-inch wire diameter with a solid height of 0.179 inches
• Pack of 10 units supports bench stock, service kits, and small production runs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies where outside diameter, free length, spring rate, and maximum load specifications align with those of the 06811285.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this size are typically installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers working on valves, switches, and fixture components. Before servicing any assembly, de-energize electrical systems and relieve any stored mechanical or fluid pressure in accordance with applicable safety procedures. Use the correct guide pin or hole diameter, 0.375 inches in this case, to prevent lateral deflection during compression. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.179 inches during installation or operation.
