Gardner Spring 36044G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36044G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313). It features a 0.3000-inch outside diameter, a 1.0000-inch free length, and a 0.0260-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 5.0 lb/in and a maximum work load of 4.25 lb (18.91 N). Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer. This part is used by mechanical technicians, equipment assemblers, and maintenance professionals working on light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring reliable, repeatable compression force.

This spring is suited for residential and commercial mechanical applications where a compact, precision-wound compression spring is required. Typical installation scenarios include instrumentation, HVAC actuator assemblies, valve mechanisms, and small equipment components. Its silver plain finish and music wire construction make it appropriate for dry or lightly loaded environments where corrosion exposure is minimal.

Key Features

• 0.3000-inch outside diameter with 0.3120-inch recommended hole diameter for proper fitment
• 1.0000-inch free length and 0.2990-inch solid height for compact inline applications
• 5.0 lb/in spring rate provides consistent, predictable compression response
• Maximum work load of 4.25 lb (18.91 N) suits light-duty mechanical assemblies
• Closed and ground end type ensures flat, stable seating surface
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit precision compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.3000-inch OD, 1.0000-inch free length, 0.0260-inch wire diameter music wire spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or equipment assemblers as part of valve, actuator, or small mechanical assembly service. Before servicing any assembly, relieve system pressure and de-energize associated electrical components. Use appropriate hand tools and fixtures to compress and seat the spring without overextending it beyond its solid height. Verify the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.3120-inch recommended hole diameter before installation.
