Gardner Spring 36100G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36100G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It measures 0.6 inches in outside diameter and 0.875 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0449 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 7.5 pounds and a spring rate of 12 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load distribution. At a solid height of 0.266 inches, this spring is well suited for compact mechanisms requiring repeatable, controlled compression in light-duty industrial and mechanical applications.

This spring fits into holes up to 0.625 inches in diameter, making it appropriate for use in valves, actuators, tooling fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light industrial equipment. Its precision tolerances and music wire construction make it a reliable choice for applications that demand consistent spring rate and fatigue resistance in moderate-cycle environments. The package quantity is 5 springs per unit.

Key Features

• Precision-wound compression spring with closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Spring rate of 12 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable load response
• Maximum work load of 7.5 pounds suits light-duty mechanical assemblies
• Outside diameter of 0.6 inches fits holes up to 0.625 inches
• Plain silver finish with no coating that could affect dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for use in valves, actuators, fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6 inch OD spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanical technician or qualified trade professional. De-energize and depressurize any assembly before removing or installing compression springs. Verify that the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.625 inch hole diameter requirement and that the free length and solid height are appropriate for the available travel in the application. Do not over-compress the spring beyond its solid height, as this will permanently deform the coils and alter the spring rate.
