Gardner Spring 36206G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36206G is a precision compression spring designed for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force in a compact form factor. It features an outside diameter of 0.12 inches, a free length of 0.375 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.0181 inches. The spring is manufactured from music wire with a plain finish and delivers a maximum work load of 3 pounds at a spring rate of 18 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and even load distribution. This part is suited for mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and light-duty industrial applications where tight dimensional tolerances are required.

This compression spring fits into a hole diameter of 0.125 inches, making it appropriate for use in precision mechanical devices, valves, switches, and similar assemblies. Its compact solid height of 0.18 inches allows for installation in space-constrained housings. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and trade professionals working on spring-loaded mechanisms will find this part a reliable OEM-style replacement or new installation component. Sold in packages of 5 units with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new installation compression spring for precision mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12 inch outside diameter and 0.375 inch free length with music wire construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers or trade professionals familiar with spring-loaded mechanisms. Ensure the mating bore or housing is clean and free of burrs before seating the spring. Verify that the installed compression does not exceed the maximum work load of 3 pounds to avoid set or premature fatigue. Always relieve any stored mechanical energy in the assembly before removing or replacing compression springs.
