Gardner Spring 36314G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36314G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) and finished plain in a natural silver color. It measures 0.24 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1.5 inches, a wire diameter of 0.026 inches, and a solid height of 0.421 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 4.9 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 5 pounds (23.35 N). Closed and ground ends provide consistent seating and accurate load transfer. This part is suited for mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and light industrial or trade applications where a compact, precise compression spring is required.

The 36314G fits into holes up to 0.25 inches in diameter, making it well matched to tight-tolerance bores found in valve assemblies, pneumatic components, HVAC damper linkages, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical applications. Its music wire construction is appropriate for static and dynamic compression loads in dry or mildly corrosive environments. Quantities are packaged in sets of five per pack, with a minimum order quantity of one pack. Installers and maintenance technicians sourcing replacement or prototype springs for light mechanical systems will find this spring a direct, specification-matched option.

Key Features

• Closed and ground end type for flat, stable seating and repeatable load performance
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Spring rate of 4.9 pounds per inch with a 5-pound maximum work load
• Outside diameter of 0.24 inches fits holes up to 0.25 inches in diameter
• Compact 1.5-inch free length with a 0.421-inch solid height for space-constrained applications
• Plain silver finish suitable for dry and low-humidity environments

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or prototype compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch OD, 1.5-inch free length music wire spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance trades as part of valve, fixture, or assembly service work. Ensure the mating bore or housing is clean and free of debris before seating the spring. De-energize and depressurize any system - pneumatic, hydraulic, or mechanical - before removing or installing compression springs. Avoid overstressing the spring beyond its rated maximum work load to prevent set or premature fatigue.
