About Compression Spring, Stainless Steel, Metric, 4.5 Mm
This compression spring is made of stainless steel 301, 302, or 304 wire and has an outside diameter (OD) of 4.5 millimeters and a wire size of 0.5 millimeter. This stainless steel is a general purpose material offering good mechanical properties, with greater corrosion and heat resistance than music wire. The spring has a solid height of 5.75 millimeters. The spring ends are closed (squared), but not ground for efficient transfer of force, and reduced risk of tangling. This spring has a load capacity of 7.78 newtons, and a maximum operating temperature of 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). It has a slightly magnetic plain finish for added corrosion resistance. All dimensions and forces of this slightly magnetic compression spring meet standard DIN (Grade 2).Compression springs are open-coil helical springs that are used to save space and absorb shock in a variety of applications. They absorb the energy of a force acting upon them by becoming shorter, store that energy while compacted, and expand as they release the energy. These springs are either placed over a rod, or fitted inside a hole, and are found in a wide variety of applications ranging from automotive engines and large stamping presses to major appliances and lawn mowers, medical devices, cell phones, electronics, and sensitive instrumentation devices.
