Gardner Spring 36037GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36037GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for dependable, corrosion-resistant performance in demanding mechanical assemblies. It features a 0.24 inch outside diameter, a free length of 0.812 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.0421 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 52.17 lb/in and a maximum work load of 16.52 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable bearing surfaces for consistent load transfer and accurate seating in bores or against flat surfaces. This spring is suited for use in precision instruments, valves, controls, and light mechanical assemblies where tight dimensional tolerance and reliable force characteristics are required.

This spring is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where a small-format compression spring is needed in valve assemblies, HVAC controls, fluid handling components, or general mechanical devices. Its stainless steel construction makes it a sound choice in environments with moisture exposure or where corrosion resistance is a priority. Sold in a package quantity of five units, it is a practical stock item for maintenance, repair, and assembly operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, or plumbing and controls technicians as part of valve or control component service. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize equipment before disassembling any spring-loaded component. Verify bore diameter, free length, spring rate, and end type against the original spring specification before installing. Avoid overstressing the spring beyond its maximum work load rating to prevent permanent set.
