Gardner Spring 36106G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36106G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) and finished plain in a silver color. It features a 0.6000-inch outside diameter, a 7/8-inch free length, and a 0.0630-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a rate of 45 pounds per inch with a maximum work load of 23 pounds (102.31 N). Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer. This type of spring is used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies wherever a compact, high-tolerance compression element is required.

The 36106G suits applications that demand repeatable deflection under controlled loads in tight spaces. Its 7/8-inch free length and 0.6-inch OD allow it to fit standard spring pockets and assemblies without modification. The 5/8-inch hole diameter compatibility makes it suitable for guided-rod installations. Engineers, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals specify this spring for OEM replacement and new-build mechanical assemblies in light commercial and residential equipment.

Key Features

• Precision-wound music wire construction meeting AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• 45 pounds-per-inch spring rate for consistent, predictable load response
• 23-pound maximum work load (102.31 N) in a compact 7/8-inch free length
• Closed and ground end type for flat, stable seating against mating surfaces
• 0.3470-inch solid height minimizes compressed stack dimension
• Plain silver finish suitable for dry and lightly protected environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6000-inch outside diameter, 7/8-inch free length, and 45 pounds-per-inch spring rate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or trade professionals during equipment assembly or maintenance. Ensure the mating spring pocket or guide rod is clean and free of debris before seating the spring. De-energize or depressurize any system before replacing compression springs in live assemblies. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.3470 inches during installation or operation.
