Gardner Spring 36057G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36057G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313). It features a 0.36-inch outside diameter and a 0.5-inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.026 inches and a solid height of 0.108 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 9 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 3.5 pounds (15.57 N). Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load distribution. This part is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, tooling, and light-duty industrial or OEM applications where precise spring force is required.

This spring is appropriate for residential and commercial applications wherever a compact, small-diameter compression spring is needed. It fits into a hole diameter of 0.375 inches, making it compatible with standard mounting bores of that size. Typical installations include valve assemblies, jigs, fixtures, electronic equipment, and general mechanical sub-assemblies. The plain silver finish indicates no additional surface treatment, which is standard for indoor or dry-environment use. Sold in a package quantity of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Compatibility

Designed for use in mechanical assemblies, tooling, and OEM equipment requiring a small-diameter precision compression spring with a 0.375-inch hole diameter and a 0.5-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers working with light mechanical or electromechanical sub-assemblies. Ensure the mating bore diameter is at or near 0.375 inches for proper spring retention. Power down or de-energize any assembly before servicing components under spring load. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.108 inches to avoid permanent set or fatigue failure.
