Gardner Spring 36069GS Compression Spring 0.36in Od Ss

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36069GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features a 0.36 inch outside diameter, a 0.437 inch free length, and a 0.045 inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a maximum load capacity of 14.34 pounds and a spring rate of 65.2 pounds per inch, making it well-suited for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force in a compact envelope. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and accurate load transfer. Conforms to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards.

This spring is used in industrial, mechanical, and trade-service assemblies where a small-diameter compression spring with predictable deflection characteristics is required. Typical applications include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, and precision instrument components. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild corrosion. The solid height of 0.215 inches and a fit hole diameter of 0.375 inches guide proper assembly into standard bored housings.

Key Features

• Precision spring type with closed and ground ends for stable, flat seating
• 0.36 inch outside diameter fits a 0.375 inch (3/8 inch) bore hole
• 65.2 pound-per-inch spring rate for consistent, predictable deflection
• 14.34 pound maximum work load capacity
• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Solid height of 0.215 inches allows tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for mechanical assemblies requiring a precision compression spring with a 0.36 inch outside diameter and 0.375 inch fit hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Install by a qualified technician familiar with spring-loaded mechanical assemblies. Ensure the mating bore or pin diameter matches the specified hole diameter of 0.375 inches and the pin or shaft size is appropriate for the inside diameter before installation. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any associated actuator or valve before disassembly. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.215 inches during installation or testing.
