Value Collection 06811996 Compression Spring 0.48in Od 3in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06811996 is a compression spring designed for general mechanical and industrial applications where a reliable push-force element is required. With an outside diameter of 0.48 inches and a free length of 3 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 3.31 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 6.84 pounds. The wire diameter measures 0.041 inches, producing a compact, lightweight coil suited for light-duty assemblies. This spring is typically installed by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and trade professionals working on equipment that requires consistent compression force in confined spaces. It ships in a package quantity of 5.

This compression spring fits a wide range of light-duty mechanical applications including valves, latches, switches, actuators, and general industrial equipment. Its 0.48-inch outside diameter is suited for housings or bores up to 0.50 inches in diameter. The 3-inch free length compresses down to a solid height of 0.675 inches, giving the assembly a broad working range. Residential and commercial maintenance professionals, as well as equipment repair technicians, commonly specify this spring as a replacement or original-design component in mechanical systems across multiple industries.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch outside diameter and 3-inch free length. Verify bore diameter, free length, spring rate, and maximum load against the application requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Compression springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. De-energize and depressurize any system before removing or installing springs to prevent uncontrolled release of stored energy. Confirm the mating bore or rod dimensions against the spring outside diameter and wire diameter to ensure proper seating and alignment. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
