Value Collection 06811566 Compression Spring 0.42in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06811566 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies and precision applications. With an outside diameter of 0.42 inches and a free length of 0.5 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 16.08 lb/in and supports a maximum work load of 5 pounds. Wire diameter is 0.035 inches. The compact solid height of 0.152 inches makes it well-suited for confined spaces where travel range is limited. Sold in a package of 10 pieces, this spring is a practical stocking item for maintenance shops, OEM assembly lines, and service technicians who frequently work with small mechanical components.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in residential and commercial equipment where a small-format, light-load return or biasing spring is required. Typical applications include valve actuators, switches, latching mechanisms, small pneumatic and hydraulic controls, and general-purpose spring-loaded assemblies. The hole diameter clearance of 0.438 inches provides a reference for mating bore sizing in tooling or housing design.

Key Features

• Spring rate of 16.08 lb/in provides consistent, predictable load response
• Maximum work load of 5 pounds keeps deflection within a controlled, linear range
• Wire diameter of 0.035 inches supports tight-coil geometry in a compact package
• Solid height of 0.152 inches allows use in shallow counterbores or confined cavities
• Package of 10 pieces supports stocking for repetitive service or assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose light-duty compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.42-inch OD and 0.5-inch free length with a 16.08 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this size are typically installed by mechanical technicians, millwrights, or equipment service professionals during assembly or repair procedures. Ensure mating bore or guide pin dimensions are confirmed against the hole diameter reference and wire diameter before installation. Inspect the spring seat and bore for burrs or debris that could cause the spring to cock or bind during operation. Compress only within the rated working load range to avoid permanent set.
