Gardner Spring 36066GS Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36066GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.36 inches outside diameter and 0.437 inches free length, with a wire diameter of 0.042 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 11.73 pounds and a spring rate of 48.7 pounds per inch, making it well suited for compact, high-precision applications where consistent force and corrosion resistance are required. The closed and ground end type provides stable, flat seating on both ends for accurate load transfer and reliable performance across repeated cycles.

This compression spring is intended for use in mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, valves, switches, and related hardware where a small-diameter, high-rate spring is needed. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance or cleanliness standards matter. Maintenance technicians, equipment builders, and precision assembly specialists are the typical users. It is sold in packages of five units with a minimum order quantity of one package.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or equipment assemblers during maintenance or assembly operations. Before replacing a spring in any live system, de-energize, depressurize, and secure the assembly per applicable safety procedures. Verify that the replacement spring matches the original in outside diameter, free length, wire diameter, and spring rate before installation. Use appropriate spring handling tools to avoid overstressing the spring during compression or seating.
