Gardner Spring 36008G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36008G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It measures 0.12 inches in outside diameter and 0.812 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.022 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 6 pounds and a spring rate of 18 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating surfaces for consistent force transfer. This spring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where precise load and deflection characteristics are required. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers work with components like this in production and repair environments.

The 36008G is used in compact mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, and equipment manufacturing applications. Its small outside diameter of 0.12 inches fits holes up to 0.125 inches in diameter, making it appropriate for tight-tolerance installations in valve bodies, actuators, linkage assemblies, and similar mechanisms. The solid height of 0.495 inches establishes the maximum compression limit. Sold in packages of five, the 36008G is well suited for service shops and small production runs that need reliable, spec-consistent compression springs without ordering in bulk.

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for compact mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12-inch outside diameter and 0.812-inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation of small precision compression springs should be performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assembly procedures. Verify that the mating bore and seat geometry match the spring outside diameter and end type before installation. Compress the spring only to its solid height to avoid set or permanent deformation. Inspect the seating surfaces for burrs or misalignment that could cause uneven load distribution or premature fatigue.
