Frequently Asked Questions
What material is this spring made from?
This spring is manufactured from 302 stainless steel, offering high tensile strength and resistance to corrosion in mechanical and light industrial environments.
Are the ends squared and ground?
Yes. The ends are closed and ground flat, allowing the spring to stand upright and distribute axial force evenly across flat mating surfaces.
Why buy an individual spring instead of a bulk pack?
Replacing a worn or lost spring in a single assembly should not require purchasing a bulk distributor pack of 50 or 100 pieces. You get the exact Lee Spring component required for your build, fully verified and ready to install. Shipping is an $8 flat rate, free once your order passes $28, and ships from our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
The right spring rate turns a sticky mechanism into a crisp, reliable action. Drop it into your assembly and get back to work.
