Century Spring Corp. Compression Springs 3868

Description
Century Spring warehouses the largest inventory of high-grade, straight, cylindrically-shaped compression springs in the world. A compression spring is an open-coil helical spring that offers resistance to a compressive force applied axially. They are usually coiled at a constant diameter, though they can be coiled in other needed forms such as conical, concave (barrel), convex (hourglass), or various combinations of these. Compression springs are used to resist force and/or store energy, depending upon the application. All Century compression springs are fabricated from round wire. Note: If the spring needed for your application cannot be found in our inventory, we can fabricate it for you. Call our Custom Spring department at 800-237-5225 for a quote.

Datasheet Summary
Powered by GS/AI

The Century Spring Corp. compression spring with part number 3868 has an outer diameter of 0.484 inches (12.29 mm) and a free length of 2.75 inches (69.9 mm). It features a wire diameter of 0.404 inches (10.3 mm) and is made from music wire material. The spring is designed to handle a suggested maximum load of 17 lbs (75.6 N) and can withstand a maximum deflection of 2.9 inches (73.7 mm) before reaching solid length. The spring ends are closed, which may be suitable for applications requiring a more finished appearance or specific load distribution. This spring is part of a larger inventory of high-grade compression springs, making it a viable option for various engineering applications where resistance to compressive forces is needed.
