Gardner Spring 36052GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36052GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for consistent, reliable performance in demanding mechanical applications. It features a 0.3-inch outside diameter, a free length of 0.812 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.0421 inches. With a spring rate of 33.04 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 14.12 pounds, this spring delivers controlled, predictable deflection under load. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and uniform load distribution. This part meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards, making it appropriate for corrosion-sensitive environments and precision assemblies.

This compression spring is suited for use in light industrial equipment, instrumentation, medical devices, and general mechanical assemblies where a compact, corrosion-resistant spring is required. Its small form factor makes it a common fit in valve mechanisms, switch assemblies, and actuator returns. Mechanical engineers, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working with precision spring-loaded components will find this spring an accurate replacement or first-fit solution.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Spring rate of 33.04 pounds per inch for predictable deflection behavior
• Maximum work load of 14.12 pounds suits light-duty precision applications
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards
• Plain silver finish with no additional coating that could affect dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring suitable for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.3-inch outside diameter spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression springs should be performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Ensure the mating bore or pin diameter is compatible with the hole diameter of 0.312 inches and rod sizing before installation. De-energize or depressurize any system before servicing spring-loaded components to prevent injury from unexpected release. Avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.39 inches to prevent set and loss of load capacity.
