Gardner Spring 36006G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36006G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 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 0.022 inches and a solid height of 0.166 inches. Rated at a maximum working load of 6 pounds and a spring rate of 70 pounds per inch, this spring delivers consistent, repeatable force output suited to tight-tolerance assemblies. It is available with a minimum order quantity of one and is sold in packages of five. Licensed technicians, machinists, and maintenance professionals working in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or industrial control applications will find this spring useful wherever a compact, closed-and-ground end compression spring is required.

This spring is appropriate for use in precision mechanical assemblies where dimensional consistency and load accuracy matter. Its compact profile allows installation in applications with a recommended hole diameter of 0.125 inches. Typical use cases include valve mechanisms, small actuators, switch returns, and instrumentation components in both residential and light commercial systems. The music wire construction provides strong tensile characteristics for cyclic loading environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12-inch outside diameter closed-and-ground end spring with a 70 pounds per inch spring rate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals during assembly or service of valve, actuator, or control components. Ensure the mating bore and shaft dimensions are confirmed before installation to avoid spring binding or misalignment. Relieve any system pressure or stored energy before disassembling components that retain the spring. Do not exceed the rated maximum working load of 6 pounds to avoid permanent set.
