Gardner Spring 36001G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36001G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.12 inch outside diameter, a free length of 0.5 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.0161 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 2.5 pounds and a spring rate of 8.5 pounds per inch, making it well suited for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force in a compact form factor. This part is installed by mechanical technicians, industrial maintenance personnel, and trade professionals working with small mechanical assemblies.

The GARDNER SPRING 36001G is designed for use in precision mechanical applications where a small-diameter, light-load compression spring is required. Typical install scenarios include valves, switches, instruments, and light-duty mechanical assemblies found in HVAC equipment, plumbing components, and general industrial hardware. The closed and ground end type ensures stable seating and consistent load distribution under compression.

Key Features

• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Closed and ground ends for stable seating and uniform load transfer
• 0.12 inch outside diameter fits a hole diameter of 0.125 inches
• Spring rate of 8.5 pounds per inch for predictable deflection behavior
• Solid height of 0.205 inches limits over-compression in tight assemblies
• Plain silver finish with no added coating for direct mechanical use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for small mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12 inch outside diameter and 0.5 inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or trade technicians. De-energize and depressurize any system before removing or installing compression springs in valves, switches, or actuators. Verify the bore diameter and seat geometry match the spring dimensions before seating. Do not stretch or compress the spring beyond its rated solid height during installation.
