1-16 Outer Diameter
1/16" (0.0625) Inch Outer Diameter Standard Compression Springs
Definition of 1/16" Outer Diameter Compression Springs:
A 1/16" (one sixteenth of an inch) outer diameter compression spring has an outer diameter of 0.0625 inches. This micro-sized spring is used in highly compact mechanisms such as miniature switches, battery compartments, sensors, and precision medical devices. Due to its tiny size, it provides very light compression force with high accuracy.
At The Spring Store by Acxess Spring, we stock 1/16" OD compression springs in a range of wire diameters, coil counts, and lengths designed for precise, space-constrained applications.
How To Measure Your 1/16" Inner Diameter Stock Compression Spring




Your 1/16" (one sixteenth of an inch) compression spring’s outer diameter plays a critical role in miniaturized designs where precision is everything. A 1/16" OD compression spring is commonly chosen for applications where minimal force and limited space are essential factors.
The 1/16" (0.0625) OD compression springs we provide are manufactured to meet tight tolerances, using ultra-fine wire and compact coil configurations.
All of our 1/16" OD compression springs are made with high-quality 302 stainless steel (ASTM A 313) or music wire (ASTM A 228) to guarantee excellent performance, elasticity, and corrosion resistance—even at this tiny scale.

Max. Deflection
Solid Height
The maximum amount of force or load you can place on this spring. If you put more force than this you will distort or fatigue the spring.
