Gardner Spring 36200GS Compression Spring 0.12in Od 3/8in

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36200GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for consistent, repeatable performance in demanding applications. It measures 0.12 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 0.375 inches and a wire diameter of 0.0161 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 9.57 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 2 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and uniform load distribution across the coil stack. This is a small-format spring suited for precision assemblies where tight dimensional tolerances and corrosion resistance are both required.

This spring is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant compression element is needed. Its 0.125-inch hole diameter fit and 0.16-inch solid height make it appropriate for confined spaces in valve assemblies, actuators, small switches, and similar mechanisms. Sold in a package of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package, this part is stocked for maintenance, repair, and original-equipment applications where exact spring geometry is critical.

Key Features

• Maximum work load of 2 pounds with a spring rate of 9.57 pounds per inch
• Solid height of 0.16 inches supports compact installation envelopes
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a precision-replacement or OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12 inch OD, 0.375 inch free length, closed and ground end spring in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or licensed trade professionals during valve, actuator, or switch assembly and repair. De-energize or depressurize the system completely before disassembling any spring-loaded component. Use calibrated calipers to confirm seating dimensions match the application bore and travel before final assembly. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation.
