Value Collection 06812838 Compression Spring 0.72in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06812838 is a helical compression spring designed for general mechanical applications requiring a compact, predictable load-deflection characteristic. With an outside diameter of 0.72 inches and a free length of 2.5 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 14.95 pounds per inch and handles a maximum working load of 22.32 pounds. Wire diameter is 0.072 inches. The solid height measures 0.827 inches, giving installers and engineers a reliable reference for compressed-state clearance planning. This spring suits mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and light industrial equipment where consistent return force is required. It is sold in a package of 5 units.

This compression spring fits applications across a broad range of industries, including light machinery, valve assemblies, tooling jigs, and equipment enclosures. Its dimensions are suited to installations where a hole diameter of up to 0.75 inches is available for spring retention. The spring is appropriate for use by mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and trade workers performing equipment repair or assembly. Its moderate spring rate and load capacity make it a common choice for return-force and preload functions in compact mechanical systems.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.72-inch outside diameter and 2.5-inch free length. Confirm spring rate, load requirements, and solid height against the target application before installation.

Installation Notes

Compression springs should be installed by a qualified mechanical technician familiar with spring-loaded assembly procedures. Before servicing any spring-loaded mechanism, de-energize the system and relieve any stored mechanical or pneumatic energy. Use appropriate safety measures when compressing or releasing the spring during installation or removal, as stored energy can cause sudden component movement. Verify that the mating bore or housing diameter accommodates the 0.75-inch hole diameter specification to ensure proper seating.
