Gardner Spring 36010GS Compression Spring 0.18in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36010GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter and 0.5 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.016 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 1.3 pounds and a spring rate of 3.91 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer. This spring is suited for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, valves, and precision equipment where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are required. Technicians and assemblers working in industrial, HVAC, or fluid-control applications install this spring type as a standard component.

The 36010GS is appropriate for small-bore assemblies requiring a compact, low-load compression spring. Its 0.187-inch hole diameter fitment and 0.113-inch solid height make it well suited for tight-clearance installations in valves, actuators, sensors, and similar mechanical components. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. Sold in packages of five units with a minimum order quantity of one package.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating under load
• 0.18-inch outside diameter fits 0.187-inch bore diameter applications
• 1.3-pound maximum work load with a 3.91 lb/in spring rate
• 0.113-inch solid height suits tight-clearance, compact assemblies
• Plain silver finish with no coating that could affect dimensional tolerance

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or service compression spring for small-bore mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18-inch OD, 0.5-inch free length, closed and ground end configuration in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers working on valves, instrumentation, or precision mechanical components. Ensure the mating bore and pilot dimensions match the spring outside diameter and wire size before installation. Relieve system pressure and de-energize any actuators or powered components before removing or replacing compression springs. Avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.113 inches, as this will cause set and permanent loss of load capacity.
