About the LC 022B Compression Spring, 316 Stainless
Lee Spring lists LC 022B 07 S316 as a stock compression spring in Type 316 stainless steel, and the published data matches the dimensions carried in the item title: an outside diameter of 0.18 in (4.57 mm) against a free length of 0.625 in (15.88 mm). The wire is 0.022 in (0.56 mm) and the ends are squared and ground. The catalogue rate is 8.7 lb/in (1.524 N/mm); compressed solid at 0.238 in (6.05 mm), the spring carries up to 3.332 lb (14.82 N), which leaves roughly 9.8 mm of travel between free length and solid height. That slender proportion — a free length about three and a half times the outside diameter — makes it a longer-stroke spring than its diameter suggests, and one that generally wants a bore or rod to keep it from buckling near full compression. Type 316 stainless is specified where the service environment is corrosive.

Typical applications
The long, narrow form suits duties where a spring has to reach down a bore and still deliver useful force at the end of its stroke — valve and poppet return, spring-loaded pins and probes, latch and interlock mechanisms, and telescoping guides. Just under 10 mm of travel at 1.524 N/mm gives a working load band suited to light mechanisms rather than heavy preload. As with the rest of the 316 stainless range, it is picked for salt-air, humid or chemically aggressive service.
