Gardner Spring 36114G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36114G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It measures 0.72 inches in outside diameter and 0.75 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0551 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 13 pounds and a spring rate of 23 pounds per inch. The closed and ground end type provides stable seating and consistent load transfer. At a solid height of 0.221 inches, this spring is suited for compact assemblies where precise force characteristics are required. Mechanical engineers, maintenance technicians, and OEM assemblers specify this part where repeatable spring performance is critical.

This compression spring is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, commercial, and OEM manufacturing applications. Its compact dimensions make it appropriate for valve mechanisms, latching assemblies, precision instruments, and similar hardware requiring a small-diameter compression element. The 0.75-inch hole diameter fit and closed-ground ends support consistent alignment in bored or recessed mounting features. It is sold in packages of 5 units with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for stable, square seating and accurate load transfer
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Spring rate of 23 pounds per inch for predictable deflection behavior
• Maximum work load of 13 pounds within a 0.75-inch free length
• Plain silver finish suitable for general mechanical environments
• Compact solid height of 0.221 inches for space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.72-inch outside diameter and 0.75-inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians during equipment assembly or repair. Ensure the mating bore or pocket matches the 0.75-inch hole diameter specification to prevent spring misalignment under load. Relieve all stored mechanical energy in the assembly before removing or installing compression springs. Inspect seating surfaces for burrs or damage that could affect spring squareness and load consistency.
