Gardner Spring 36041G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36041G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.3 inches outside diameter, 0.875 inches free length, and a 0.022 inches wire diameter. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 3.0 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 2.5 pounds (11.12 N). Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating under load. This component is used across mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and light-duty industrial applications wherever a compact, consistent compression element is required.

The 36041G is suited for applications demanding close-tolerance spring performance in small assemblies. Its compact dimensions make it appropriate for precision instruments, valves, latches, switches, and similar mechanisms found in HVAC controls, plumbing valves, and electrical equipment. The solid height of 0.166 inches and a minimum hole diameter fit of 0.312 inches guide its integration into standard spring pockets and bores. This part ships in a package quantity of 5 and carries a minimum order quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Closed and ground end type for flat, stable seating and consistent load transfer
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Spring rate of 3.0 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection
• 0.022 inches wire diameter with 0.3 inches outside diameter for compact fitment
• Plain silver finish suitable for dry and lightly lubricated environments
• Solid height of 0.166 inches limits over-compression in confined assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for use in mechanical assemblies, control components, valves, and instrumentation requiring a 0.3 inches OD spring with a 0.875 inches free length and 3.0 pound-per-inch spring rate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers or the qualified trade technician servicing the host equipment. Verify that the mating bore or spring pocket matches the 0.312 inches minimum hole diameter before installation. Ensure the assembly is de-energized and depressurized before replacing any spring component within a valve, actuator, or control device. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.166 inches during assembly.
