Gardner Spring 36061G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36061G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.36-inch outside diameter, a free length of 0.875 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.0319 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 10 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 6.25 pounds (27.80 N). Closed and ground ends provide consistent seating and stable load transfer across repeated compression cycles. This part is suited for mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, and light-duty actuator applications where precise spring force and compact dimensions are required.

The 36061G is used in applications calling for a small-diameter precision compression spring with defined load and rate characteristics. Its compact geometry, with a solid height of 0.209 inches and a recommended hole diameter of 0.375 inches, makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations in pneumatic controls, valve assemblies, tooling fixtures, and general mechanical subassemblies. It is sold in packages of 5 units, which suits low-volume repair, prototyping, and replacement scenarios equally.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for flat, consistent seating and accurate load measurement
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• 10 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable, linear force response
• 6.25-pound maximum work load with a solid height of 0.209 inches
• 0.375-inch recommended hole diameter allows straightforward drop-in installation
• Plain silver finish - no coating to affect dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a precision compression spring replacement or direct-use component for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36-inch outside diameter spring with a 0.875-inch free length and 10-pound-per-inch spring rate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Before servicing any assembly containing compression springs, relieve all system pressure and de-energize any associated actuators or controls. Verify the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.375-inch recommended hole diameter and that the seating surfaces are clean and free of burrs to ensure consistent load performance. Do not compress this spring beyond its solid height of 0.209 inches during installation or operation.
