Compression Springs Wire Dia 0.6mm OD 6mm 304 Stainless Steel Vibration Damping

Measure the available cavity depth in your assembly when the spring is at its natural (uncompressed) state. The free length you select should be longer than your compressed working length to ensure the spring exerts force. As a general rule, select a free length that is 20–50% longer than your required compressed length, depending on the deflection and load needed. Use the variant dropdown above to select from 5mm to 305mm.

With an outer diameter of 6mm and a wire diameter of 0.6mm, the approximate inner diameter is 4.8mm (OD − 2×wire dia). For a guide rod application, a rod of 4.0–4.5mm diameter is typically recommended to allow free movement without binding. For a bore/housing application, the bore should be at least 6.2–6.5mm to allow the spring to compress without side-loading.

These are light-duty compression springs with a 0.6mm wire diameter, suited for low-to-moderate load applications such as return mechanisms, vibration damping, contact pressure in connectors, and similar uses. They are not designed for heavy structural or high-load industrial applications. If you need specific spring rate or load data for your design, please contact us to confirm before ordering.

304 stainless steel provides good resistance to atmospheric corrosion, humidity, and mild chemical environments. It is suitable for indoor use, light outdoor exposure, and many laboratory or medical-adjacent applications. For highly aggressive environments (saltwater immersion, strong acids or chlorides), 316 stainless steel would be more appropriate. These springs are uncoated, so the corrosion resistance comes entirely from the alloy composition.

Yes. The helical coil structure of compression springs naturally absorbs and dissipates vibration energy through elastic deformation. These springs are well-suited for use as vibration isolators between components, anti-vibration mounts in instruments, and buffer elements in assemblies subject to mechanical shock. For optimal damping performance, select a free length and spring rate that keeps the spring operating in its linear deflection range under your expected load.

For prototyping and testing, packs of 1–10 pieces are ideal to validate fit, load, and deflection before committing to larger quantities. For small production runs or maintenance stock, packs of 20–100 pieces offer better per-unit value. The 150-piece packs are suited for ongoing production or workshop inventory. Select your preferred quantity from the QTY(pcs) dropdown above.

Not all length-quantity combinations are listed as active variants — availability varies by size. Shorter lengths (5–50mm) are available in a wider range of quantities (up to 150 pcs), while longer lengths (120–305mm) have a more limited quantity selection. Select your SIZE first, then check the available QTY options in the second dropdown. If you need a specific combination not shown, contact us to confirm availability.
