Gardner Spring 36027GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36027GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for consistent, repeatable force output in close-tolerance applications. It measures 0.24 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 0.375 inches and a wire diameter of 0.026 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 4.56 pounds and a spring rate of 20.87 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and accurate load distribution. The plain silver finish reflects the natural stainless steel surface. This part is suited for mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and industrial components where small-format precision springs are required.

This spring fits applications calling for a compact compression spring in the 0.24-inch OD range. Typical use cases include light-duty mechanical mechanisms, valve assemblies, electronic hardware, medical devices, and precision instruments where dimensional consistency and material integrity are critical. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and maintains spring rate across a wide range of operating environments. It is sold in packages of five units with a minimum order quantity of one package.

Key Features

• Precision spring type with closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation
• Spring rate of 20.87 pounds per inch for predictable deflection
• Maximum work load of 4.56 pounds
• Solid height of 0.131 inches for compact compressed-state clearance
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a precision compression spring replacement or component for assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch outside diameter, 0.375-inch free length spring with a 0.25-inch maximum hole diameter fit.

Installation Notes

Installation of small-format precision springs typically requires hand tools or spring installation fixtures appropriate to the host assembly. Ensure the mating bore or cavity diameter matches the specified hole diameter of 0.25 inches to maintain proper spring alignment. Verify the solid height of 0.131 inches does not conflict with assembly clearances under full compression. Handle stainless steel springs with clean, dry tools to avoid surface contamination that could affect corrosion resistance in sensitive applications.
