How To Measure Your 1/16" Inner Diameter Stock Extension Spring




Your 1/16" (one sixteenth of an inch) extension spring’s outer diameter is critical when it comes to proper fit and load application. Even a small change in diameter can affect how your spring functions under tension. A spring as small as a 1/16" outer diameter is sensitive to dimensional changes, so it's important to choose the right specs.
The 1/16" (0.0625) outer diameter standard extension springs available at The Spring Store come in various lengths, wire diameters, and hook types. Their force and tension values vary based on coil count, material, and initial tension. Our online catalog provides real-time specs and allows you to compare options easily.
These stock 1/16" outer diameter extension springs are made from high-grade materials such as 302 stainless steel (ASTM A 313) or music wire (ASTM A 228), ensuring performance and durability even in micro-scale designs.
