It has an outside diameter of 0.18 inches, a free length of 1.25 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.026 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 9.7 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 6.0 pounds (30.03 N). Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer. This spring is suited for applications requiring tight dimensional tolerances and repeatable performance in compact assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, commercial, and OEM manufacturing applications. Typical installations include instrument mechanisms, valve assemblies, small actuators, latching mechanisms, and precision tooling fixtures. The small outside diameter and short free length make it well-suited for confined spaces where consistent return force is required. Technicians and assembly personnel working in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments are the primary end users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and accurate load distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusic wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 9.7 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 6.0 pounds suits light-duty precision applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.552 inches allows controlled compression in tight assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlain silver finish with no coating that could affect dimensional tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in precision mechanical assemblies requiring a compression spring with a 0.18-inch outside diameter and 1.25-inch free length.

Ensure the mating bore or guide pin dimensions are verified against the spring outside diameter of 0.18 inches and hole diameter of 0.188 inches before installation. Compress the spring only within its rated work load range to avoid permanent set. Inspect the seating surfaces to confirm the closed and ground ends are fully supported for accurate load transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 0.026 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.552 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\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.7 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.0 pounds (30.03 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: Music Wire\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 36272G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52125836378418,"sku":"36272G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/44ac7372132fbd271fe770409e6f7eee.jpg?v=1790087897","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36272g-precision-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
