Gardner Spring 36203GS Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36203GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.12 inches in outside diameter and 1 inch in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0161 inches. The spring features closed and ground ends, a solid height of 0.375 inches, and a spring rate of 3.48 pounds per inch. With a maximum work load of 2 pounds, this small-diameter spring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and consistent performance are required. It is installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and precision equipment repair professionals.

This spring is designed for use in precision mechanical applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant compression spring is needed. Its small outside diameter of 0.12 inches makes it appropriate for tight-clearance assemblies, instrumentation, valves, and light-duty mechanisms found in HVAC controls, plumbing valves, and industrial equipment. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments exposed to moisture or mild chemical exposure. Sold in a package quantity of 5 units per order.

Installation Notes

Install using appropriate hand tools or spring installation fixtures. Confirm the mating hole diameter and bore clearance match the spring outside diameter before installation. Inspect the spring seat surfaces for burrs or damage that could affect load transfer. No special certifications are required for spring replacement, but always de-energize or depressurize any system before servicing components that contain compression springs.
