3-16 Outer Diameter
3/16" (0.1875) Inch Outer Diameter Standard Compression Springs
Definition of 3/16" Outer Diameter Compression Springs:
A 3/16" (three sixteenths of an inch) outer diameter compression spring has an outer diameter of 0.1875 inches. This small compression spring size is used in light-duty applications requiring precise compression in a compact space. Common applications include electronics, precision instruments, and compact mechanical assemblies.
At The Spring Store by Acxess Spring, we carry a variety of 3/16" OD compression springs with different wire diameters, lengths, and coil counts to suit miniature and precision-based projects.
How To Measure Your 3/16" Inner Diameter Stock Compression Spring




Your 3/16" (three sixteenths of an inch) compression spring’s outer diameter influences how much space it occupies and how much force it can apply in miniature designs. A 3/16" OD compression spring is perfect for compact setups where accuracy and reliability are critical.
The 3/16" (0.1875) OD compression springs offered by Acxess Spring are available in multiple wire diameters, spring rates, free lengths, and total coil counts to ensure optimal fit and performance.
Each 3/16" OD compression spring is crafted from top-grade 302 stainless steel (ASTM A 313) or music wire (ASTM A 228), delivering strength, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance over time.
