Value Collection KP150142 Compression Spring 0.3125in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP150142 is a compression spring manufactured from spring steel, designed for general mechanical and industrial applications. With an outside diameter of 0.3125 inches (5/16 inches) and a free length of 1.25 inches (1-1/4 inches), this spring is suited for compact assemblies where precise load resistance is required. The wire diameter measures 0.0410 inches and the spring rate is 19.44 pounds per inch, making it appropriate for applications where consistent deflection force is essential. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and assembly professionals commonly use springs of this specification in tooling, fixtures, and light mechanical assemblies.

This compression spring is well suited for light-duty industrial, commercial, and mechanical applications. Its compact dimensions make it a practical choice for use in instrumentation, valves, latches, jigs, and similar assemblies where a small-diameter, short-travel spring is needed. The spring steel construction provides reliable cycle life under repeated compression loads in standard dry or low-moisture environments.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.3125 inches fits compact spring seats and bores
• Free length of 1.25 inches provides a short travel envelope
• Wire diameter of 0.0410 inches delivers consistent coil geometry
• Spring rate of 19.44 pounds per inch for predictable load-deflection behavior
• Spring steel construction for durability under repeated compression cycling
• Sold in a package quantity of 10 units

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use compression spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16-inch outside diameter and 1-1/4-inch free length specification.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this size are typically installed by mechanical technicians or assemblers as part of tooling, valve, or fixture work. Before servicing any assembly containing compressed springs, relieve all stored energy and ensure the mechanism is fully de-energized or depressurized. Use appropriate retaining tools to prevent spring ejection during installation or removal. Verify seat diameter and bore clearance against the 0.3125-inch outside diameter before installation.
