Gardner Spring 36024GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36024GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and designed for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force in a compact form factor. With an outside diameter of 0.24 inches, a free length of 0.375 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.022 inches, this spring fits into tight assemblies where dimensional accuracy is critical. It delivers a spring rate of 10.43 lb/in and a maximum work load of 2.83 pounds. The closed and ground end type ensures flat, stable seating against mating surfaces. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and field service professionals working with precision equipment install this part.

This spring is suited for light-duty precision assemblies across HVAC controls, valves, plumbing components, electrical hardware, and general mechanical devices where a small-diameter compression spring is required. The 0.24-inch outside diameter allows the spring to seat in a 0.25-inch diameter hole, making it compatible with standard precision-machined bores and housings. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure or where corrosion resistance is a factor in component longevity.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.24 inches seats precisely in a 0.25-inch hole diameter
• Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable load-bearing contact surfaces
• Stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in demanding service environments
• Spring rate of 10.43 lb/in supports predictable, linear force response
• Maximum work load of 2.83 pounds within a compact 0.375-inch free length
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or OEM-style compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch outside diameter, 0.375-inch free length, closed and ground end compression spring in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

This spring is installed by mechanical technicians and field service professionals working on precision assemblies. Before replacing or installing the spring, de-energize the equipment and relieve any stored mechanical or fluid pressure in the assembly. Use appropriate hand tools and fixtures to compress and seat the spring without overextending it beyond its solid height of 0.111 inches. Confirm the mating bore and seat dimensions match the specified hole diameter before installation.
