Gardner Spring 36248G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36248G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302, ASTM A228, ASTM A313 compliant) with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.18 inch outside diameter and a 0.375 inch free length, making it a compact, high-tolerance component suited for light-duty mechanical applications. The spring delivers a rate of 20 pounds per inch with a maximum work load of 4 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer. Technicians and assemblers working in tight-clearance mechanisms will find this spring sized for precision fitment.

This compression spring is used in light mechanical assemblies across a range of industries including HVAC equipment, fluid control valves, pneumatic devices, and general industrial hardware. Its small form factor suits applications where limited space requires a tightly wound, short-travel spring. The 0.022 inch wire diameter and 0.144 inch solid height allow integration into fine-tolerance mechanisms. Sold in packages of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18 inch outside diameter and 0.375 inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians. Relieve all tension and de-energize any associated system before removing or installing springs. Use appropriate spring installation tools to avoid overcompressing beyond solid height, which can permanently set the spring. Inspect the mating bore or rod for burrs that could damage the wire coils during assembly.
