Gardner Spring 36147G Utility Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36147G is a utility compression spring designed for general-purpose mechanical applications requiring reliable, repeatable load resistance. Built with a 0.557-inch outside diameter and a 3-inch free length, this spring delivers a spring rate of 5.73 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 10.94 pounds. The closed end type ensures stable seating against flat surfaces, making it a straightforward choice for machine designers, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly work. Wire diameter measures 0.054 inches, and solid height is 1.09 inches. Licensed trade professionals and maintenance personnel across HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial settings install this type of spring routinely in actuators, valves, latches, and tensioning mechanisms.

This compression spring suits a wide range of light-duty mechanical assemblies found in residential and commercial equipment. Typical applications include valve assemblies, door latches, tool fixtures, and control linkages where a compact spring with consistent load characteristics is required. The silver zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and semi-protected environments. Its standard utility designation means it is stocked for broad compatibility across common mechanical systems rather than a single OEM application.

Key Features

• 0.557-inch outside diameter for precise fitment in standard spring pockets
• 3-inch free length with a 1.09-inch solid height for controlled compression range
• 5.73 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable, linear load response
• Maximum work load of 10.94 pounds suits light-duty tensioning and actuation uses
• Closed end type provides flat, stable seating without additional hardware
• Zinc finish in silver color offers basic corrosion protection for indoor service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style utility compression spring suitable for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.557-inch OD, 3-inch free length spring with closed ends.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression springs should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with mechanical assembly procedures. Always de-energize and de-pressurize any system before removing or installing spring components. Inspect the spring seat and mating bore for wear or damage before installing the replacement spring. Avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its solid height during assembly, as this can permanently deform the coils and alter load characteristics.
