Gardner Spring 36072GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36072GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features a 0.42-inch outside diameter, a 0.50-inch free length, and a wire diameter of 0.038 inches. With a spring rate of 20 lb/in and a maximum working load of 6.95 pounds, this spring is engineered for consistent, repeatable deflection in demanding mechanical assemblies. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and precise load transfer. This part is suited for OEMs, maintenance engineers, and technicians specifying small-format compression springs in industrial, HVAC, or equipment applications.

The 36072GS fits applications requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant compression spring with tight dimensional tolerances. Its solid height of 0.172 inches and hole diameter of 0.437 inches make it appropriate for guided-pin installations or close-tolerance spring pockets. Typical use cases include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, and light-load spring-return components found in residential and commercial equipment. This spring ships in a package quantity of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.42-inch outside diameter, 0.50-inch free length, and 20 lb/in spring rate in a stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians, OEM assemblers, or qualified maintenance personnel. Ensure the mating bore or guide pin matches the specified hole diameter of 0.437 inches and guide pin clearance before installation. Compress the spring only within its rated working load range to avoid set or permanent deformation. De-energize or depressurize any associated assembly before replacing or servicing springs.
