Gardner Spring 36101G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36101G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards. It features a 0.6-inch outside diameter, a free length of 1.5 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.0449 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 7.5 pounds and a spring rate of 6.5 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer across the compression stroke. The plain silver finish indicates uncoated music wire construction suited for general mechanical and industrial applications. Maintenance techs, machine builders, and MRO specialists are the primary installers.

This compression spring fits applications requiring a compact, high-cycle spring element within a 5/8-inch (0.625-inch) hole diameter. Typical use cases include HVAC equipment linkages, plumbing valve assemblies, light electrical panel hardware, and general mechanical sub-assemblies. The solid height of 0.35 inches establishes the minimum compressed dimension, making it straightforward to size for travel and load requirements. Sold in packages of five units to support both single-unit repairs and small production runs.

Key Features

• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and accurate load measurement
• Spring rate of 6.5 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection
• Maximum work load of 7.5 pounds (33.36 N)
• 0.35-inch solid height allows controlled compression travel within confined spaces
• Plain silver finish - no coating to interfere with dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 0.6-inch OD, 1.5-inch free length compression spring housed within a 0.625-inch hole diameter; verify spring rate and load requirements against your specific assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or MRO personnel. Before servicing any assembly containing this spring, de-energize the equipment and relieve all system pressure or tension according to lockout/tagout procedures. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or removing springs under load. Confirm mating bore, shaft, and travel dimensions against the spring specifications to prevent coil bind or misalignment.
