When a project demands consistent push-back force and your current spring fails under load or corrodes after a few cycles, finding the right replacement wastes hours. Whether you are a hobbyist building custom mechanisms, a maker prototyping a new device, or a technician maintaining equipment, these 60mm compression springs give you a precise, repeatable solution without guesswork.
Each spring is a helical coiled compression spring with a free length of 60 mm (approximately 2.36 in). Wire diameters range from 0.5 mm to 1.8 mm (0.020 in – 0.071 in), and outer diameters span 3 mm to 30 mm (0.12 in – 1.18 in). Available in spring steel, stainless steel (304 grade), and zinc-plated carbon steel to match your environment and load requirements.
Typical use cases include 60mm compression spring for electronics enclosure latches, small-appliance return mechanisms, 3D-printer bed leveling assemblies, RC car suspension tuning, and precision instrument reset springs — all scenarios where a compact coiled spring with controlled deflection is essential.
Consistent free length across all variants ensures predictable spring rate and deflection in your design calculations.
From miniature 3 mm springs for electronics to robust 30 mm springs for mechanical assemblies — one listing covers your full range.
Spring steel for cost-effective general use, stainless steel (304) for corrosion-resistant environments, and zinc-plated carbon steel for moderate moisture exposure.
Thinner wire for light-load return springs; thicker wire for higher spring rates and heavier compression loads.
Available in 1, 2, or 5-piece packs so you can order exactly what your project needs without excess inventory.
Flat, closed ends provide stable seating on spring plates and reduce lateral buckling during compression cycles.

Measure the bore (hole) your spring sits inside and subtract at least 0.5 mm for clearance — that gives your maximum outer diameter. If the spring rides on a shaft, measure the shaft and add at least 0.5 mm to get your minimum inner diameter, then select an outer diameter that gives you the correct inner diameter for your wire size. When in doubt, size down one step and test deflection before committing to a larger order.
Spring steel (high-carbon steel) offers a higher spring rate per unit cost and is ideal for dry, indoor environments. Stainless steel 304 resists rust and mild chemical exposure, making it the right choice for outdoor, humid, or food-adjacent applications. Zinc-plated carbon steel sits between the two — it provides moderate corrosion resistance at a lower price than stainless, suitable for occasional moisture exposure.
Strength depends on wire diameter and outer diameter. Thicker wire (e.g., 1.8 mm) combined with a smaller outer diameter produces a stiffer spring with a higher spring rate and load capacity. Thinner wire (e.g., 0.5 mm) with a larger outer diameter produces a softer spring suited for light-load return applications. Select your wire diameter and outer diameter combination from the variant options to match your required load.
For outdoor or high-humidity environments, choose the stainless steel 304 variant — it provides reliable corrosion resistance in most weather conditions. The zinc-plated variant offers moderate protection for sheltered outdoor use. Spring steel without coating is best kept in dry, indoor settings to prevent surface rust over time.
Yes. The smaller diameter variants (3–8 mm OD, 0.5–0.8 mm wire) are well-suited for 3D-printer bed leveling, electronics enclosure latches, and precision instrument mechanisms. Mid-range variants (8–16 mm OD) work well for RC car suspension and small actuator return springs. Larger variants (18–30 mm OD) suit heavier mechanical assemblies and industrial fixtures.
If you are prototyping or need a single replacement, the 1-piece or 2-piece pack keeps cost low. For production runs, repairs requiring spares, or projects with multiple spring seats, the 5-piece pack offers better value per unit. Check the "Material Selection & Qty" variant option to see which pack sizes are available for your chosen diameter and wire combination.
Inner diameter = Outer Diameter − (2 × Wire Diameter). For example, a 10 mm OD spring with 1.0 mm wire has an inner diameter of approximately 8 mm. Use this formula to verify shaft fit before ordering. Exact values vary slightly by manufacturing tolerance; contact us to confirm if your application requires tight tolerances.
