Gardner Spring 36148G Utility Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36148G is a utility compression spring rated for general mechanical and industrial applications. It features a 0.554-inch outside diameter, a 1-inch free length, and a 0.0625-inch wire diameter wound to closed ends. The spring delivers a rate of 30.78 pounds per inch with a maximum work load of 13.54 pounds. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, it provides corrosion resistance suited to light-duty service environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals commonly specify this spring for equipment repairs, fixtures, and component assemblies requiring consistent return force in a compact form factor.

This compression spring is intended for utility-grade applications across light mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, valves, latches, and equipment maintenance scenarios. Its compact dimensions make it a practical fit for tight spaces where a small-diameter, short-travel spring is needed. The closed end configuration allows flat seating against mating surfaces, which is typical in precision-fit assemblies. It is sold in packages of 10 units, making it appropriate for shop stock or multi-unit repair jobs.

Key Features

• 0.554-inch outside diameter for compact, space-efficient fitment
• 1-inch free length with a 0.5625-inch solid height
• 30.78 lb/in spring rate for predictable, consistent return force
• Maximum work load of 13.54 pounds
• Closed end type for flat, stable seating against mating surfaces
• Zinc finish over steel construction for light corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as a utility-grade compression spring for general mechanical assemblies, tooling, and equipment maintenance applications requiring a 0.554-inch OD, 1-inch free length spring with closed ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers using standard hand tools. Relieve all mechanical load and de-energize or lock out any powered equipment before replacing compression springs in assemblies. Verify that the spring seats squarely against both mating surfaces at installation to prevent lateral buckling under load. Do not compress this spring beyond its solid height of 0.5625 inches during installation or operation.
