Gardner Spring 36085G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36085G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.48-inch outside diameter, a free length of 0.875 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.0382 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 10.5 lb/in and supports a maximum work load of 7.25 pounds, making it well suited for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force in a compact envelope. This spring is used by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working on light mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, and precision equipment.

The 36085G is appropriate for residential and commercial mechanical applications where a small-diameter compression spring with a closed and ground end configuration is required. Its solid height of 0.21 inches and hole diameter of 0.50 inches allow it to seat cleanly in standard spring pockets. Trade professionals will find this spring useful in HVAC damper assemblies, plumbing valve components, and general mechanical subassemblies where dimensional accuracy and consistent spring rate matter.

Key Features

• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards for consistent mechanical properties
• Closed and ground end type for flat, stable seating and accurate load transfer
• 10.5 lb/in spring rate provides predictable, linear force output
• Maximum work load of 7.25 pounds within a compact 0.875-inch free length
• 0.21-inch solid height allows use in tight axial spaces
• Plain silver finish suitable for general indoor mechanical environments

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch outside diameter and 0.875-inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or trade professionals during equipment assembly or component replacement. Ensure the mating spring pocket or guide rod dimensions are compatible with the 0.50-inch hole diameter and 0.21-inch solid height before installation. Relieve any system pressure or stored energy before removing or installing compression springs. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during assembly.
