Spring Locators 1.500 OD .585 ID .060 Thick

Spring Locators 1.500 OD .585 ID .060 Thick by COMP CAMS are precision internal valve train components engineered for high-performance engine builds and race applications. These hardened steel spring locators seat inside the valve spring assembly, providing critical support and alignment during extreme RPM conditions. Originally developed for competitive motorsports where valve reliability under sustained high-load cycling is non-negotiable, spring locators are equally essential for military small-arms platforms, precision rifles, and duty firearms requiring enhanced bolt carrier group stability and longevity.

The Spring Locators feature a 1.500-inch outer diameter, 0.585-inch inner diameter, and 0.060-inch wall thickness, dimensioned to fit standard valve spring assemblies with a 0.690-inch spring ID specification. Manufactured from heat-treated steel, each locator distributes spring preload evenly across the entire contact surface, preventing binding, tilting, or uneven wear that can compromise valve seating and accelerate fatigue failure. The set of 16 units ensures complete coverage for multi-cylinder platforms or allows retention of spares for field replacement. Precision tolerances throughout guarantee consistent fitment and optimal spring geometry maintenance across firing cycles.

Precision shooters, gunsmiths, and tactical rifle builders rely on quality spring locators to maintain bolt-to-barrel synchronization and feeding reliability in AR platforms and other modern sporting rifles. Law enforcement armorers and military small-arms technicians specify these components when rebuilding duty weapon systems subjected to heavy use cycles. Proper spring locator selection is critical for match-grade accuracy, reliability under environmental stress, and extended service intervals between overhauls. Verify your specific valve spring OD and spring ID dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fit and performance.
