Gardner Spring 36038G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36038G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.24-inch outside diameter, a 1.5-inch free length, and a 0.0421-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a 31 lb/in spring rate and supports a maximum work load of 19 pounds (84.52 N). Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer. This spring is suited for mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, tooling fixtures, and precision equipment across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general industrial applications. Installation is typically handled by mechanical technicians or trade professionals during equipment assembly or maintenance.

This compression spring fits into a hole diameter of 0.25 inches and compresses to a solid height of 0.9050 inches. Its compact form factor and precision tolerances make it appropriate for use in residential and light commercial equipment where consistent spring force and repeatable deflection are required. It is sold in packages of 5 units with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Key Features

• 0.24-inch outside diameter with closed and ground ends for stable, flat seating

• Maximum work load of 19 pounds (84.52 N)
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Plain silver finish; no coating to interfere with close-tolerance fits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch outside diameter and 0.25-inch hole diameter fit, with a 1.5-inch free length and 31 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by mechanical technicians during equipment assembly, valve servicing, or component replacement. De-energize and isolate the equipment from all power and pressure sources before disassembly. Use appropriate hand tools to seat the spring squarely against both mating surfaces; cocked or off-axis seating will reduce load accuracy and service life. Refer to the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for assembly sequence and preload requirements.
