1-4 Outer Diameter
1/4" (0.25) Inch Outer Diameter Standard Compression Springs
Definition of 1/4" Outer Diameter Compression Springs:
A 1/4" (one fourth of an inch) outer diameter compression spring has an outer diameter of 0.25 inches. This compact spring size is ideal for light mechanical applications such as small devices, electronic components, precision instruments, and low-load assemblies that require reliable compression force in a tight space.
At The Spring Store by Acxess Spring, we carry a broad selection of 1/4" OD compression springs in various wire diameters, free lengths, coil counts, and load capacities to fit your specific needs.
How To Measure Your 1/4" Inner Diameter Stock Compression Spring




Your 1/4" (one fourth of an inch) compression spring’s outer diameter is essential for determining fit and compression force in small-scale mechanical designs. A 1/4" OD compression spring is suitable for projects where precise movement, light loads, and space efficiency are required.
The 1/4" (0.25) OD compression springs offered by The Spring Store come in a variety of configurations, including different wire diameters, free positions, coil counts, and lengths to support the mechanical performance you need.
All of our 1/4" OD compression springs are manufactured using high-grade 302 stainless steel (ASTM A 313) or music wire (ASTM A 228), offering superior elasticity, strength, and corrosion resistance.
