It measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 0.75 inches and a wire diameter of 0.032 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 41 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 12 pounds. End type is closed and ground, which provides flat, stable seating surfaces. Solid height is 0.45 inches. This spring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring consistent, repeatable force in a compact form factor. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GARDNER SPRING 36281G is used in small mechanical and electromechanical assemblies across HVAC, plumbing hardware, fluid control valves, and general industrial equipment. Its compact 0.18-inch OD makes it appropriate for applications with tight radial clearances, such as valve stems, actuator mechanisms, and instrument components. The hole diameter for this spring is 0.188 inches, providing guidance for pin or mandrel mounting. It is sold in packages of 5 units with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and accurate load transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 41 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable deflection behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 12 pounds (55.60 newtons)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusic wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside diameter of 0.18 inches fits applications with tight radial clearances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.45 inches limits compression travel in confined assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service part for small mechanical assemblies requiring a precision compression spring with a 0.18-inch outside diameter and 0.75-inch free length. Verify spring rate, solid height, and end type against the application requirement before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of compression springs should be performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any connected actuators or valve assemblies before removing or installing the spring. Confirm mandrel or pin diameter does not exceed the 0.188-inch hole diameter to avoid binding. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.45 inches during assembly or testing.\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: 0.0319 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.45 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: 41 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 pounds (55.60 newtons)\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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\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: 36281G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971292496178,"sku":"36281G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d78564be14f09c85725b4d9c7c03e1b2.jpg?v=1789955404","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36281g-precision-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
