Gardner Spring 36011GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36011GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for reliable, consistent performance in demanding mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.18 inches outside diameter with a 0.75 inch free length and a wire diameter of 0.0161 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 1.3 pounds and a spring rate of 2.17 pounds per inch. The closed and ground end type provides a flat, stable seating surface for predictable load transfer. This spring is suited for use by mechanical technicians, OEM assemblers, and maintenance professionals working with precision small-force applications.

The 36011GS is designed for light-duty compression applications requiring tight dimensional tolerances and corrosion resistance. It fits within assemblies where a hole diameter of 0.1870 inches is present, such as instrument mechanisms, valve actuators, small electronic assemblies, and industrial equipment requiring precise spring force. The silver plain finish and stainless steel construction make it appropriate for environments where mild corrosive exposure is a concern. Package quantity is 5 pieces per package with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating for accurate load application
• 0.18 inch outside diameter fits hole diameter of 0.1870 inches
• Spring rate of 2.17 pounds per inch for predictable, repeatable deflection
• Maximum work load of 1.3 pounds with a solid height of 0.1770 inches
• Plain silver finish suitable for general and mildly corrosive environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18 inch outside diameter and 0.75 inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers during equipment build or maintenance procedures. Ensure the mating bore or hole diameter is within specification before seating the spring to avoid coil binding or misalignment. Confirm the assembly is depressurized and de-energized before servicing any spring-loaded mechanism. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.1770 inches during installation or testing.
