Gardner Spring 36103GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36103GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for consistent, reliable load performance in demanding mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.6 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 7/8 inch and a wire diameter of 0.0551 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 15 pounds and a spring rate of 23.48 pounds per inch, making it well-suited for light-load, high-cycle applications where dimensional accuracy and corrosion resistance are critical. Ends are closed and ground for stable, flush seating on mounting surfaces. Licensed mechanical, HVAC, and industrial maintenance technicians install these springs during equipment assembly or repair.

This precision compression spring is used in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where controlled force and compact dimensions are required. Typical applications include valve assemblies, actuators, HVAC components, and general mechanical equipment requiring a small-diameter, short-travel compression element. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild corrosives. The closed and ground end configuration suits applications that require square, stable seating.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction (AISI 302 / ASTM A313 / ASTM A228) for corrosion resistance
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating
• 0.6 inch outside diameter with 5/8 inch hole diameter fit
• 15 pound maximum work load at a spring rate of 23.48 pounds per inch
• Solid height of 0.29 inches for compact compressed-state clearance
• Plain finish in silver; no coating to interfere with dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6 inch outside diameter, 7/8 inch free length, closed and ground end spring in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with spring-loaded mechanical assemblies. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any associated electrical components before disassembly. Verify the housing or bore dimensions match the 0.6 inch outside diameter and confirm adequate clearance for solid height before final assembly. Do not overcompress the spring beyond its design travel range, as this can permanently deform the coils and reduce load accuracy.
