Right, Im looking for a compression spring with OD of 5mm and range (free length minus compressed length) of around 30mm. Free length preferably less than 50mm.
And it needs to be fairly stiff, cant really quantify it, but I dunno, exert a force of around 10N? May be a little hopeful though…

Sooo, anyone know where I can get one or two (ie not a minimum order of £500)? Or anyone happen to have one kicking around by any chance?

Thanks, Duane.

Or you can ring them, explain what you are trying to do and they might send you ‘samples’.
