Gardner Spring 36001GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36001GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features a 0.12 inch outside diameter, a 0.5 inch free length, and a 0.0161 inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 7.39 lb/in and supports a maximum work load of 2.17 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide consistent seating and accurate load performance. This spring is suited for compact mechanism assemblies where tight dimensional tolerances and corrosion resistance are required. Licensed technicians and mechanical assemblers working in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment applications rely on this type of precision spring for reliable, repeatable operation in confined spaces.

This spring is appropriate for use in small actuator assemblies, valve mechanisms, control linkages, and similar applications where a low-profile compression element is needed. Its stainless steel construction makes it well suited for environments with exposure to moisture or mild chemicals. The 0.125 inch hole diameter fit and compact solid height of 0.205 inches allow installation in tight bores or housings with limited travel clearance. Sold in packages of five, this spring is a practical stock item for service shops and assembly operations that regularly encounter small-spring replacements or original builds.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• 0.12 inch outside diameter fits a 0.125 inch bore or hole diameter
• 7.39 lb/in spring rate with 2.17 pound maximum work load
• Compact 0.205 inch solid height for use in tight assemblies
• Plain silver finish with no coating to interfere with dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a precision compression spring replacement or original-equipment component for compact mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12 inch OD, 0.5 inch free length stainless steel spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed technicians or qualified assemblers as part of valve, actuator, or control mechanism service. Always de-energize or depressurize the assembly before removing or installing any spring component. Confirm the bore or housing diameter accommodates the 0.125 inch hole diameter clearance before seating the spring. Inspect mating surfaces for burrs or corrosion that could affect spring seating and load performance.
