Gardner Spring 36227GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36227GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and designed for applications requiring consistent, repeatable load performance in compact spaces. The spring measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1 inch and a wire diameter of 0.0161 inches. A spring rate of 1.65 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 1 pound make this a light-duty, precision-tolerance component. Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating under load. This spring is suited for mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, valves, and equipment requiring controlled compression force within a tight footprint.

This compression spring is used in light-duty mechanical and industrial assemblies where a small-diameter, precision-wound spring is required. Typical applications include valve mechanisms, electronic assemblies, medical devices, HVAC control components, plumbing valve internals, and general equipment where a consistent spring rate is critical. The silver plain finish and stainless steel construction make this spring suitable for environments with moderate corrosion exposure. It ships in a package quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Precision wound with closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating under compression load
• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• 1.65 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable, linear load response
• 0.18 inch outside diameter fits a hole diameter of 0.188 inches
• Solid height of 0.22 inches allows use in shallow-travel applications
• Plain silver finish with no additional coating or plating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or engineering-grade component for light-duty compression spring applications requiring a 0.18 inch outside diameter, 1 inch free length, and stainless steel construction conforming to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards.

Installation Notes

This spring is installed by qualified mechanical technicians or engineers as part of a larger assembly. Verify the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.188 inch hole diameter clearance and that the shaft or guide is sized appropriately for the 0.18 inch outside diameter. Confirm that the applied load does not exceed the 1 pound maximum work load rating to prevent coil set or permanent deformation. Inspect the seating surfaces before installation to ensure flat, even contact with the closed and ground ends.
