Gardner Spring 36060G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36060G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.36-inch outside diameter, a 0.5-inch free length, and a 0.032-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a rate of 18 pounds per inch with a maximum load capacity of 6.25 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide consistent seating and reliable load transfer in tight-tolerance assemblies. This spring is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial applications where repeatable performance in a compact form factor is required. Licensed technicians and assemblers commonly install this spring in valves, actuators, and precision mechanisms.

This compression spring fits applications requiring a small-diameter, short free-length spring with predictable deflection characteristics. Its 0.375-inch hole diameter fitment and closed ground ends make it appropriate for use in valve assemblies, control linkages, pressure relief mechanisms, and similar components found in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. The silver plain finish is suitable for indoor and protected environments. Sold in packs of five with a minimum order quantity of one pack.

Compatibility

Designed as a precision-grade replacement or original-install compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36-inch outside diameter and 0.5-inch free length with an 18 pounds-per-inch spring rate.

Installation Notes

Install and service by qualified mechanical technicians or assemblers familiar with spring-loaded components. De-energize and depressurize any system before disassembling spring-loaded valves or actuators. Verify that the mating bore diameter and pocket depth match the spring outside diameter and free length before installation. Do not compress beyond the published solid height to avoid permanent set or damage to adjacent components.
