Gardner Spring 36011G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36011G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) and supplied with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.18-inch outside diameter, a 0.75-inch free length, and a 0.0161-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 1.5 pounds and a spring rate of 2.5 pounds per inch, making it suited for light-duty mechanical applications where consistent return force and dimensional accuracy are required. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and uniform load distribution. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and precision assembly professionals are the typical end users for this spring type.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in instrumentation, light mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, switches, and similar applications requiring a small-diameter, low-load return element. Its compact solid height of 0.177 inches allows it to operate in tight axial spaces. The 0.187-inch hole diameter spec provides a reference for bore-fit installations. This spring is sold in packages of 5 units with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Key Features

• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Closed and ground ends for consistent load bearing and stable seating
• 0.18-inch outside diameter fits small-bore and precision assemblies
• Spring rate of 2.5 pounds per inch for predictable deflection behavior
• Maximum work load of 1.5 pounds suits light-duty mechanical applications
• Solid height of 0.177 inches supports compact axial installation envelopes

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or OEM-style compression spring for light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation components, and valve or switch mechanisms requiring a 0.18-inch OD, 0.75-inch free length music wire spring.

Installation Notes

Install and service by qualified mechanical technicians or assembly professionals familiar with spring-loaded component procedures. Relieve any system pressure or stored mechanical energy before removing or installing compression springs. Verify that the bore or guide rod dimensions are compatible with the 0.187-inch hole diameter and 0.18-inch outside diameter before installation. Do not exceed the rated maximum work load of 1.5 pounds to avoid permanent set or premature fatigue.
