Gardner Spring 36019GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36019GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter and 0.562 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.026 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 20 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 5.87 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer. This component is suited for demanding mechanical assemblies where dimensional precision and corrosion resistance are required. Technicians and engineers working in light industrial, HVAC, or instrumentation applications will find this spring sized for tight-tolerance installations.

The 36019GS fits applications requiring a small-diameter compression spring with predictable deflection characteristics. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact. Typical use cases include actuator mechanisms, valve assemblies, electronic enclosures, and precision instrumentation where a compact spring with consistent load performance is specified. The 0.187-inch hole diameter guidance supports accurate bore-fit installation in close-clearance assemblies.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction with plain finish for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and even load distribution
• Spring rate of 20 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection
• Maximum work load of 5.87 pounds with solid height of 0.274 inches
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards
• Small outside diameter of 0.18 inches suits tight-clearance mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18-inch outside diameter, 0.562-inch free length spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical technician or engineer. Ensure the mating bore or rod dimensions are verified against the spring outside diameter and hole diameter before installation. Relieve any stored mechanical energy in the assembly before removing or replacing compression springs. Avoid overstressing the spring beyond its rated maximum work load to prevent set or premature failure.
