Gardner Spring 36005GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36005GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel to tight dimensional tolerances. It features a 0.12 inch outside diameter, a 0.75 inch free length, and a wire diameter of 0.0181 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 7.39 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 3.04 pounds. With a closed and ground end type, it seats cleanly and applies consistent axial force in compact mechanisms. It is well suited for instrumentation, light-duty assemblies, valve returns, and precision electromechanical devices where dimensional repeatability and corrosion resistance are required.

This spring fits applications where a small-diameter, short-travel compression element is needed inside tight housings or subassemblies. The 0.125 inch hole diameter fit and 0.351 inch solid height make it compatible with close-tolerance bores and limited-travel designs. Technicians and assemblers working in HVAC controls, plumbing valve assemblies, electrical hardware, and similar trade equipment will find this spring applicable to OEM-style replacements or new assembly work requiring a stainless, precision-wound component.

Key Features

• Precision wound with closed and ground ends for consistent seating and load transfer
• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• 0.12 inch outside diameter fits 0.125 inch bore diameters
• 7.39 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable, linear deflection behavior
• 3.04 pound maximum work load with 0.351 inch solid height
• Plain silver finish with no coating that could affect dimensional fit in tight tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit compression spring for precision assemblies requiring a 0.12 inch outside diameter, 0.75 inch free length stainless steel spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified technician or assembler during component-level service or new assembly work. Before replacing a spring in any live system, de-energize electrical circuits and relieve any stored pressure or mechanical preload in the assembly. Use appropriate precision hand tools to avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its solid height during installation. Verify seating orientation and end alignment before reassembling the housing.
