Gardner Spring 36200G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36200G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) for consistent, repeatable force in light-duty mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.12 inches in outside diameter with a 0.375-inch free length and a 0.016-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 2 pounds at an 11 pounds-per-inch spring rate, making it well-suited for applications where a small form factor and precise load characteristics are required. Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating on mating surfaces. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and OEM production lines are the typical end users.

This spring fits into a hole diameter of 0.125 inches and is appropriate for use in small mechanical controls, HVAC actuators, valve assemblies, electrical switches, and similar precision instruments where dimensional accuracy and load repeatability matter. Its plain silver finish and music wire construction make it compatible with dry or lightly lubricated environments. The 0.16-inch solid height allows for compact installation in space-constrained assemblies. It is sold in packages of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Key Features

• 2-pound maximum work load with 0.16-inch solid height
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating on mating surfaces
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Plain finish suitable for dry or lightly lubricated mechanical environments

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression spring for small mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12-inch outside diameter and 0.125-inch hole diameter fitment, including HVAC controls, valve mechanisms, and instrumentation hardware.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this size are typically installed by mechanical assemblers or service technicians during equipment assembly or repair. Power down or de-energize the host assembly before replacing internal spring components. Ensure the mating bore and seat surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation.
