Gardner Spring 36092GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36092GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and intended for use in mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, and trade-service applications requiring consistent, repeatable force characteristics. The spring carries a maximum work load of 10 pounds and a spring rate of 9.57 pounds per inch, making it suitable for light-duty compression tasks where dimensional accuracy matters. Outside diameter measures 0.48 inches, wire diameter is 0.045 inches, and free length is 1.5 inches. Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating against mating surfaces. Licensed trades, OEM technicians, and maintenance professionals install this spring in valves, actuators, and mechanical control assemblies.

This spring fits residential and commercial applications wherever a compact, corrosion-resistant compression spring is required. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature cycling. Typical install scenarios include valve return mechanisms, pressure-relief assemblies, HVAC damper actuators, plumbing valve internals, and general mechanical linkage applications. The 0.5-inch hole diameter clearance spec guides bore sizing during installation. Sold in a package quantity of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for stable, flat seating and accurate load transfer
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments
• 9.57 lb/in spring rate provides consistent, predictable force across the compression range
• 0.48-inch outside diameter fits standard bore applications requiring a 0.5-inch hole diameter
• Solid height of 0.372 inches limits overcompression in close-tolerance assemblies
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or OEM-spec compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch OD, 1.5-inch free length spring with closed and ground ends in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by mechanical technicians and licensed trade professionals as components within valves, actuators, or control mechanisms. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any associated electrical or pneumatic circuits before disassembling the host component. Confirm bore clearance against the 0.5-inch recommended hole diameter before seating the spring. Avoid overcompressing the spring below its solid height of 0.372 inches, as doing so can permanently set the spring and alter its load characteristics.
