Value Collection 06812036 Compression Spring 0.48 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06812036 is a helical compression spring designed for general mechanical and industrial applications. With an outside diameter of 0.48 inches and a free length of 1.5 inches, this spring provides consistent, repeatable force in a compact form factor. The wire diameter measures 0.047 inches, the spring rate is 10.9 pounds per inch, and the maximum working load is 10.02 pounds. These characteristics make it well suited for light-duty tensioning, valve actuation, tooling fixtures, and component retention tasks across a wide range of assemblies. Sold in packages of 10.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where a small-diameter, moderate-rate spring is required. Typical applications include jigs and fixtures, pneumatic and hydraulic component assemblies, electronic enclosures, and light industrial machinery. The 0.5-inch recommended hole diameter provides a standard slip fit for guided spring installations. The solid height of 0.466 inches should be accounted for when designing travel limits in confined spring pockets.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.48 inches suits standard 0.5-inch bore guided installations
• Spring rate of 10.9 pounds per inch delivers predictable, linear load response
• Maximum working load of 10.02 pounds keeps deflection within safe operating range
• Wire diameter of 0.047 inches provides consistent coil geometry and fatigue resistance
• Solid height of 0.466 inches supports accurate travel and pocket depth calculations
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for bench stock or small-run production use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement or new-build compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch outside diameter and 1.5-inch free length spring with a 10.9 pounds-per-inch rate.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this size are typically installed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel using standard hand tools. Ensure the spring pocket or guide rod is clean and free of burrs before installation to prevent coil binding or premature wear. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.466 inches during assembly or operation. Verify that the installed travel does not exceed the design deflection corresponding to the maximum working load of 10.02 pounds.
