Value Collection 06811855 Compression Spring 0.48in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06811855 is a small-diameter compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring consistent return force in a compact form factor. With an outside diameter of 0.48 inches and a free length of 1 inch, this spring operates at a spring rate of 6.23 pounds per inch and handles a maximum working load of 4.39 pounds. Wire diameter measures 0.035 inches, and solid height is 0.207 inches. It is suited for use in instrumentation, valves, latches, actuators, and general mechanical assemblies where a reliable, repeatable compression force is needed. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers are the typical end users.

This compression spring fits applications where a hole diameter of 0.50 inches is available for guided installation. It is well-suited for residential and light commercial equipment repairs, OEM subassembly work, and aftermarket mechanical servicing. The 1-inch free length and sub-half-inch OD make this spring appropriate for tight-clearance installations in valves, switches, control linkages, and similar hardware. Sold in packages of 10, it is practical for both single-repair and small-batch production use.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression spring suitable for light-duty mechanical assemblies, valves, latches, and actuator mechanisms requiring a 0.48-inch OD spring with a 1-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Install this spring in a guided hole or over a mandrel to prevent buckling during compression. Ensure the mating bore or guide post dimensions are compatible with the 0.50-inch hole diameter and 0.48-inch OD before installation. Relieve any stored mechanical energy in the assembly before removing or replacing compression springs. General hand tools are sufficient for most installations; no special torque or press specifications apply to standard spring seating.
