Gardner Spring 36104GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36104GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and designed for applications that require consistent, repeatable force across a defined travel range. With a 0.6-inch outside diameter, a 1.5-inch free length, and a wire diameter of 0.0551 inches, this spring delivers a rated spring rate of 13.04 pounds per inch and a maximum working load of 14.13 pounds. The closed and ground end type ensures stable seating and accurate load transfer. This spring is appropriate for industrial, mechanical, and trade-equipment assemblies where dimensional precision and material consistency are required.

This spring suits residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where space constraints and load requirements are tightly specified. Common installation scenarios include valve mechanisms, actuator returns, HVAC damper assemblies, and plumbing component sub-assemblies. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments with moisture exposure or mild corrosive conditions. Sold in a package quantity of five, this spring is appropriate for service technicians maintaining stock of common replacement hardware.

• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a precision-grade replacement or service spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6-inch OD compression spring with a 1.5-inch free length and 5/8-inch hole diameter clearance fit.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression springs should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the host assembly. Always de-energize and depressurize the system before disassembling any spring-loaded component. Verify the solid height of 0.427 inches is compatible with the assembly travel limits before installation to prevent coil bind. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or releasing spring tension during service.
