Gardner Spring 36071GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36071GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel to close-tolerance specifications. It features a 0.36-inch outside diameter, a 1.5-inch free length, and a 0.045-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a rate of 15.65 pounds per inch with a maximum work load of 14.35 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating surfaces for consistent force application and accurate load transfer. This part is suited for mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, and trade applications where reliable, repeatable spring performance is required.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general industrial environments. Its compact dimensions make it a practical choice for valves, actuators, latching mechanisms, and similar components. The 0.375-inch hole diameter fitment accommodates standard bore sizes in many common assemblies. A silver plain finish and stainless steel construction support use in both dry and mildly corrosive service conditions.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and accurate load distribution
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in demanding service environments
• Precision spring rate of 15.65 pounds per inch for consistent, repeatable force output
• 0.045-inch wire diameter with 0.36-inch outside diameter in a compact 1.5-inch free length
• Solid height of 0.586 inches limits over-compression in tight assemblies
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in assemblies requiring a compression spring with a 0.36-inch outside diameter, 1.5-inch free length, and 0.375-inch bore fitment. Verify spring rate and load requirements against the specific assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

Install by a qualified technician familiar with the host assembly and applicable mechanical codes. De-energize and relieve all pressure or tension in the assembly before removing the existing spring. Confirm that the solid height, free length, and spring rate match the application requirements before installation. Avoid stretching or bending the spring during handling, as this can alter its load characteristics.
