With an outside diameter of 0.48 inches and a free length of 0.5 inches, this compact spring carries a maximum working load of 25.2 pounds and a spring rate of 108.6 pounds per inch. The closed and ground end type provides a stable, flat seating surface, which is critical for maintaining axial alignment under load. HVAC technicians, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance professionals specify this part where tight tolerances and corrosion resistance are both required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring is suited for use in light mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, HVAC actuator components, and precision instrument housings where a small-footprint compression element is needed. The 0.063-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction make it a practical choice in environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or elevated temperatures. It fits holes with a diameter of 0.5 inches and compresses to a solid height of 0.301 inches, making it straightforward to engineer into space-constrained designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends ensure flat, stable seating and accurate load transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 108.6 pounds per inch delivers predictable, linear force output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum working load of 25.2 pounds suits light-to-medium mechanical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.301 inches allows use in assemblies with tight compressed-length constraints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style precision compression spring for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch outside diameter, 0.5-inch free length, and 0.5-inch hole diameter fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, or maintenance personnel during component-level repair or new assembly. Ensure the mating bore and pilot surfaces are clean and free of burrs before seating the spring. Power down or depressurize any system before replacing springs in pressurized valve or actuator assemblies. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation, as this can permanently deform the coils and alter the spring rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.063 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.301 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 108.6 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25.2 pounds (112.1 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed and Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI 302, ASTM A228, ASTM A313\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36096GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51975821426994,"sku":"36096GS","price":15.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7ef0273d58c9af48cdd4814098d871c2.jpg?v=1789978346","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36096gs-precision-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
