Gardner Spring 36032G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36032G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.24 inch outside diameter, a 1 inch free length, and a 0.032 inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a maximum load capacity of 10 pounds and a spring rate of 16 pounds per inch, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force over a defined travel range. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and even load distribution across the coil stack. Technicians and assemblers working in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment will find this spring sized for tight-tolerance sub-assemblies.

This compression spring fits into mounting holes up to 0.25 inch in diameter and compresses to a solid height of 0.4250 inches. It is appropriate for light-duty mechanical assemblies, valve components, control linkages, and similar applications where a small-diameter, short free-length spring is required. The music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards, confirming suitability for general mechanical and instrumentation service. Sold in packs of 5.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating under load
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• 10 pound maximum work load with a 16 pound per inch spring rate
• 0.25 inch maximum hole diameter fit for precise sub-assembly placement
• Solid height of 0.4250 inches limits over-compression in confined spaces
• Plain silver finish; no coating to affect dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service stock compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24 inch OD, 1 inch free length, closed and ground end compression spring.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, or plumbing service professionals working on valve bodies, linkages, or control components. De-energize and depressurize any system before replacing internal spring components. Verify that the mating hole diameter does not exceed 0.25 inch and that the assembly travel does not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.4250 inches. Use calibrated measuring tools to confirm free length and solid height after installation.
