The spring measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 0.5 inches and a wire diameter of 0.026 inches. It delivers a maximum work load of 7 pounds and a spring rate of 23.48 pounds per inch. The closed and ground end type ensures stable seating and consistent load distribution. This spring is suited for installation by mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and precision assembly specialists working across a wide range of light-duty compression applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is used in precision mechanical assemblies where tight dimensional tolerances and consistent spring rates are required. Common applications include instrumentation, valve assemblies, medical devices, and small mechanism components where stainless steel construction is necessary for corrosion resistance or cleanliness standards. The solid height of 0.235 inches and hole diameter clearance of 0.188 inches support accurate fitment within confined bore or housing geometries. Sold in packages of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision compression spring with closed and ground ends for stable, flat seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction (AISI 302) resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.18 inch outside diameter and 0.026 inch wire diameter support use in compact assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 23.48 pounds per inch provides predictable load-deflection behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 7 pounds with a solid height of 0.235 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM A228 and ASTM A313 material standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a precision OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18 inch outside diameter, 0.5 inch free length, closed and ground end configuration in stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or assembly personnel familiar with small-spring applications. Verify bore and shaft clearances against the 0.188 inch hole diameter and 0.18 inch outside diameter before installation to ensure proper fitment without binding. Avoid compressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.235 inches during assembly, as this can permanently set the spring and reduce rated load capacity. Handle stainless steel springs with clean tools to prevent surface contamination in sanitary or corrosion-sensitive environments.\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\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.026 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\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.235 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23.48 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 pounds (26.09 N)\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: 36263GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52074906583346,"sku":"36263GS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f9ef54225dfdecc715751180db5af728.jpg?v=1790051498","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36263gs-compression-spring-0-18-in-od-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
