Gardner Spring 36118GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36118GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for reliable performance in demanding mechanical applications. With a 0.72-inch outside diameter and a 1.25-inch free length, this spring is engineered to tight dimensional tolerances. It delivers a spring rate of 16.52 pounds per inch and supports a maximum load of 13.48 pounds. The closed and ground end type provides a flat, stable seating surface that distributes load evenly and reduces buckling under compression. Licensed mechanical trades and MRO professionals install this spring in assemblies where consistent force response and corrosion resistance are required.

This compression spring is suited for use in light industrial equipment, HVAC components, plumbing assemblies, and general mechanical hardware where a compact, high-precision spring is specified. The 0.75-inch hole diameter guides the spring onto a post or into a bore without excessive play. Its plain silver finish and stainless steel construction make it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild corrosive conditions. Minimum order quantity is 1, and the part is packaged in quantities of 5.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for flat seating and stable load transfer
• Spring rate of 16.52 pounds per inch for predictable deflection response
• Maximum work load of 13.48 pounds (59.92 N)
• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Solid height of 0.411 inches allows compact installation in tight assemblies
• Plain silver finish with no added coating for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.72-inch outside diameter and 1.25-inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance trades familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Relieve all tension or preload in the assembly before removing or installing the spring. Verify that the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.75-inch hole diameter guide dimension and that the housing depth is sufficient for the 1.25-inch free length. Do not exceed the rated maximum work load of 13.48 pounds to avoid permanent set or spring failure.
