Gardner Spring 36083G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36083G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) with a plain silver finish. It measures 0.42 inches outside diameter and 1.5 inches free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0551 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 28 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 24 pounds (106.76 newtons). Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating under load. This type of spring is used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies wherever a compact, reliable compression element is required.

This spring is suited for light-duty to medium-duty compression applications in residential and commercial equipment. Typical installations include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, relay components, and equipment covers where controlled axial force and consistent spring rate are critical. The 0.437-inch hole diameter clearance and 0.661-inch solid height make it a practical fit for confined spring pockets. Sold in packs of 5, this spring is appropriate for technicians stocking bench inventory for routine equipment service and repair work.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating under compression load
• Spring rate of 28 pounds per inch for predictable, consistent force output
• Maximum work load of 24 pounds (106.76 newtons)
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Compact solid height of 0.661 inches minimizes compressed footprint
• Plain silver finish suitable for dry and low-moisture indoor environments

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.42-inch outside diameter and 1.5-inch free length spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified technicians during equipment assembly or component-level repair. Confirm the spring pocket or bore accommodates the 0.437-inch hole diameter and that the application load does not exceed the 24-pound maximum work load rating. Depressurize, de-energize, or isolate the assembly before removing or installing compression springs to prevent uncontrolled spring release. Inspect mating seats for wear or damage before installing a replacement spring.
