Gardner Spring 36000G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36000G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire with a plain silver finish. It measures 0.12 inches outside diameter and 0.25 inches free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0161 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 17.5 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 2.5 pounds. Solid height is 0.114 inches. The closed and ground end type provides consistent seating and load transfer. This spring is suited for applications requiring tight dimensional tolerances in small-envelope assemblies. Licensed technicians and mechanical assembly professionals install this type of spring in precision equipment, instruments, and light-duty mechanical systems.

This spring fits applications where a compact, low-load compression element is required. The 0.12 inches OD allows installation into bores as small as 0.125 inches. The music wire construction and plain finish make it appropriate for general-purpose mechanical assemblies in dry or low-moisture environments. It is commonly used in electronic components, valve assemblies, and instrumentation where consistent spring force in a very small package is critical.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.12 inches fits into 0.125 inch diameter holes
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Spring rate of 17.5 pounds per inch for predictable load-deflection behavior
• Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating surfaces
• Solid height of 0.114 inches limits compression travel in tight assemblies
• Plain silver finish suitable for general-purpose dry environments

Compatibility

Designed as a precision compression spring for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12 inches OD, 0.25 inches free length, closed and ground end spring with music wire construction.

Installation Notes

Install this spring with all equipment powered down and depressurized before handling small mechanical assemblies. Use precision hand tools appropriate for miniature spring installation to avoid distorting the end coils. Verify bore and pin dimensions match the 0.125 inch hole diameter and 0.12 inch OD before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.114 inches during assembly.
