Gardner Spring 36227G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36227G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313). It features a 0.18 inch outside diameter, a free length of 1 inch, and a wire diameter of 0.016 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 1.9 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 1 pound. Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating in assemblies. The plain silver finish is standard for music wire stock. This part is suited for use in precision mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, valves, and light-duty industrial or HVAC component applications where consistent, repeatable spring force is required.

The 36227G is appropriate for compact assemblies requiring a small-diameter, light-load compression spring. Its dimensions make it a fit for valve actuators, sensor mechanisms, relay components, and similar precision hardware found in HVAC controls, plumbing valves, electrical devices, and general industrial equipment. The solid height of 0.22 inches and hole diameter of 0.188 inches are useful reference values when sizing for bore or shaft fitment in assemblies.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and accurate load transfer
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Spring rate of 1.9 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection
• Maximum work load of 1 pound with a solid height of 0.22 inches
• Plain silver finish - no coating that could alter dimensional tolerances
• Precision spring type for consistent performance in close-tolerance applications

Compatibility

Designed as a precision compression spring for use in compact mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18 inch outside diameter and 1 inch free length. Suitable for HVAC controls, plumbing valve components, electrical relay hardware, and similar light-duty precision applications where music wire spring stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation technicians during component assembly or repair. Always de-energize and depressurize the host assembly before disassembling spring-loaded components. Verify bore diameter against the 0.188 inch hole diameter reference and confirm shaft or post clearance before seating the spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.22 inches during installation or operation.
