It features a 0.18-inch outside diameter and a 1.5-inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.022 inches. The spring delivers a spring rate of 3.57 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 3.0 pounds, making it well suited for light-load applications requiring consistent, repeatable force. The closed and ground end type ensures stable seating and accurate load transfer. Licensed mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and precision equipment specialists typically source and install this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is designed for use in precision assemblies where dimensional consistency and corrosion resistance are required. Typical applications include instrument mechanisms, light-duty valves, electrical contacts, medical devices, and small equipment assemblies. The stainless steel construction and plain finish make it appropriate for environments where moisture exposure or chemical contact is a factor. It is available in a package quantity of five units with a minimum order quantity of one package.\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 standards for material consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating surfaces for accurate load application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.18-inch outside diameter fits a 0.188-inch hole diameter for precise bore fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.57 pounds per inch spring rate with a 3.0-pound maximum work load for light-force applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.527-inch solid height allows for compact compressed clearance in tight assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain silver finish suitable for use in corrosive or moisture-prone environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a precision OEM-style replacement or original-fit compression spring for light-load mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18-inch OD spring with closed and ground ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers familiar with precision spring applications. Before replacing a spring in any live assembly, relieve all system pressure or tension and de-energize any associated electrical components. Verify that the bore diameter, free length, and spring rate match the assembly specification before installation. Avoid overstressing the spring beyond its maximum work load of 3.0 pounds to prevent permanent set or premature failure.\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\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0 pounds (15.46 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.57 pounds per inch\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: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.527 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.188 inches\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\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: 36260GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972502913330,"sku":"36260GS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cbd8f3e5b428456bbd0c06bcd912349f_09caf70d-440f-42b4-a114-0e13e2e6f5dc.jpg?v=1789969594","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36260gs-precision-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
