Gardner Spring 36037G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36037G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire with a plain finish. It features an outside diameter of 0.24 inches, a free length of 0.812 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.042 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 19 pounds and a spring rate of 60 pounds per inch. Ends are closed and ground for consistent seating and load transfer. This part is suited for mechanical assemblies, valve actuators, and industrial or OEM equipment requiring a compact, reliable compression element. Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or OEM assembly personnel.

This compression spring is designed for use in applications where precise load and deflection characteristics are required in a small form factor. The closed and ground end configuration ensures stable, square seating against mating surfaces. With a solid height of 0.505 inches and a recommended hole diameter of 0.25 inches, it fits into standard bored housings without modification. Typical applications include instrument mechanisms, fluid control valves, latching assemblies, and light-duty industrial equipment where consistent spring force is critical.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.24 inches fits 0.25-inch bored housings
• Spring rate of 60 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection
• Maximum work load of 19 pounds (84.52 N)
• Closed and ground ends for square, stable seating
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Compact free length of 0.812 inches with a solid height of 0.505 inches

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch outside diameter and 60 pounds-per-inch spring rate in a closed and ground end configuration.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by mechanical technicians or OEM assembly personnel using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating bore or housing is clean and free of burrs before seating the spring. Verify that the applied load does not exceed the rated maximum work load of 19 pounds to prevent permanent set or fatigue. Replace the spring if any coil distortion, corrosion, or loss of free length is observed during inspection.
