Gardner Spring 36000GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36000GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and designed for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force in a compact form factor. With an outside diameter of 0.12 inches and a free length of 0.25 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 15.22 lb/in and a maximum work load of 2.17 pounds. The closed and ground end type ensures flat, stable seating against mating surfaces, reducing tilt and uneven load distribution. A solid height of 0.114 inches and a wire diameter of 0.016 inches reflect the tight tolerances expected of precision-grade components. Technicians in mechanical assembly, instrumentation, and light industrial applications rely on this spring where small envelope dimensions and predictable load performance are critical.

This spring is suited for use in small mechanical assemblies, instrument housings, valve mechanisms, and electronic hardware where a compact compression element is required. The 0.125-inch hole diameter fit makes it straightforward to locate on a guide pin during assembly. Its stainless steel construction and plain finish make it appropriate for environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed without special coating requirements. Packaged in a quantity of 3 per package, it is practical for both repair and small-batch production work.

Compatibility

Designed as a precision-grade compression spring for use in small mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and hardware applications requiring a 0.12-inch outside diameter and 0.25-inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers or technicians during device assembly or repair. Ensure the mating guide pin or hole diameter is consistent with the 0.125-inch hole diameter specification to maintain proper spring alignment. Avoid overstressing the spring beyond its rated maximum work load to prevent permanent set. Handle with care during installation to preserve the ground end surfaces and maintain seating integrity.
