Gardner Spring 36098GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36098GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and built for applications that demand consistent force and dimensional accuracy. With a 0.48-inch outside diameter, a 1.5-inch free length, and a 0.063-inch wire diameter, this spring delivers a spring rate of 32.17 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 25.22 pounds. The closed and ground end type ensures stable seating and even load distribution during compression. It conforms to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards, making it a dependable choice for precision mechanical assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial control applications.

This spring is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems where controlled compression force is required. Typical installation scenarios include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, pressure-relief components, and control linkages. The 0.50-inch hole diameter fitment and 0.694-inch solid height make it appropriate for compact spring-loaded housings. Technicians working in HVAC controls, fluid handling, and related trade disciplines commonly specify this spring as a direct replacement or service component in spring-loaded assemblies.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or harsh environments
• Spring rate of 32.17 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force response
• Maximum work load of 25.22 pounds for reliable load-bearing performance
• Closed and ground ends for stable seating and consistent load transfer
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards
• Plain silver finish with no additional coating that could affect tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement compression spring for use in spring-loaded mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch outside diameter, 1.5-inch free length, and closed and ground end configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression springs in mechanical assemblies should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the host equipment. De-energize or depressurize the system before disassembling any spring-loaded component. Use appropriate hand tools and verify the replacement spring seats fully and evenly against the mating surface before reassembly. Follow the equipment manufacturer's service documentation and applicable codes for the specific system being serviced.
