Gardner Spring 36263G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36263G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) with a plain silver finish. It measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter with a 0.5 inch free length and a 0.026 inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a rate of 27 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 7 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide consistent seating and accurate load transfer. This part is suited for applications requiring tight dimensional tolerances and repeatable performance in compact assemblies.

The 36263G is used in small mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment where precise spring force is required in a compact envelope. With a solid height of 0.235 inches and a recommended hole diameter of 0.188 inches, it fits tight bore installations. Typical install scenarios include valve actuators, switch mechanisms, relay contacts, and light-duty tensioning devices. This spring is sold in a package quantity of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Key Features

• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Closed and ground ends for flat, consistent seating surface
• 27 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable load-deflection behavior
• Maximum work load of 7 pounds suitable for light-duty precision applications
• 0.188 inch recommended hole diameter for guided installations
• Plain silver finish - no coating to add dimensional variability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for use in compact mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18 inch outside diameter and 0.5 inch free length form factor.

Installation Notes

Install by qualified mechanical or trade technicians following applicable equipment service documentation. Ensure the mating bore or guide pin matches the 0.188 inch hole diameter specification before installation. De-energize or depressurize the assembly completely before replacing any internal spring components. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.235 inches during installation or operation.
