It features a 0.18 inch outside diameter, a 1 inch free length, and a 0.022 inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a 3 pound maximum work load and a 5.48 pound-per-inch spring rate, making it well suited for applications that require tight dimensional tolerances and repeatable load characteristics. Closed and ground ends provide a stable seating surface and even load distribution across the spring stack. Machinists, mechanical assemblers, and MRO technicians working with precision equipment are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies where small form factor and consistent spring force are critical. Typical applications include instrumentation, valve mechanisms, medical devices, small appliance components, and industrial equipment requiring repeatable return force. The silver plain finish suits environments where a clean, uncoated stainless surface is preferred. Packaged in quantities of five, it is appropriate for both production assembly runs and bench-level repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed and ground end type provides flat seating and consistent load transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.18 inch outside diameter fits a 0.188 inch hole diameter clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5.48 pound-per-inch spring rate for predictable deflection under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.368 inch solid height allows for controlled compression travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision-type designation indicates tighter manufacturing tolerances than commercial-grade springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a precision-grade replacement or original-equipment compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18 inch OD, 1 inch free length, 0.022 inch wire diameter stainless steel spring conforming to AISI 302, ASTM A228, or ASTM A313 material specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers during equipment build or repair. Ensure the mating bore or guide pin diameter is compatible with the 0.188 inch hole diameter clearance before installation. Relieve all load and de-energize any associated mechanism before removing or replacing the spring. Avoid overcompressing beyond the 0.368 inch solid height to prevent permanent set and reduced service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.022 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.368 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter (Clearance)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.188 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pounds (15.46 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.48 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed and Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI 302, ASTM A228, ASTM A313\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36254GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52093870539058,"sku":"36254GS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cf0ba4ef9682a612a9944c434f48d642.jpg?v=1790064925","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36254gs-precision-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
