Value Collection 06811897 Compression Spring 0.48 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06811897 is a small-diameter compression spring suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, jigs, and general industrial applications. It measures 0.48 inches in outside diameter with a 2-inch free length and uses 0.035-inch wire diameter construction. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 3 pounds per inch and handles a maximum working load of 4.39 pounds. Sold in packs of 10, these springs are a practical stocking item for maintenance, repair, and fabrication shops where consistent, repeatable spring force is needed in compact spaces.

This compression spring fits applications where a recommended hole diameter of 0.50 inches is available and where solid height clearance of 0.355 inches or greater is present in the assembly. Typical use cases include valve mechanisms, instrument panels, light-duty actuators, fastener retainers, and shop-built tooling. The compact wire diameter and moderate spring rate make it well-suited for low-force tensioning and return-action scenarios in both residential and commercial mechanical environments.

Key Features

• 0.48-inch outside diameter fits into 0.50-inch hole diameter clearances
• 2-inch free length provides consistent travel range for light-duty return-action applications
• 3 lb/in spring rate delivers predictable, linear compression force
• Maximum working load of 4.39 pounds suitable for low-force mechanisms
• 0.355-inch solid height allows use in assemblies with tight compressed-clearance requirements
• Pack of 10 supports stocking and small-batch fabrication needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies, tooling, and repair applications where a 0.48-inch OD and 2-inch free length are specified.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this size are typically installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or fabricators using hand tools. Confirm the mating bore diameter and compressed clearance in the assembly before installation to avoid coil binding. Ensure the solid height of 0.355 inches is not exceeded under maximum deflection in the application. Inspect for proper seating and alignment before returning the assembly to service.
