Gardner Spring 36320G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36320G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (ASTM A228) and finished plain with a silver appearance. It features a 0.24-inch outside diameter and a free length of 0.75 inches, with a wire diameter of 0.032 inches. The closed and ground end type promotes stable, square seating under load. With a maximum work load of 9 pounds and a spring rate of 22 pounds per inch, this spring is engineered for consistent, repeatable performance in light-duty mechanical assemblies. It is suited for applications where dimensional accuracy and material compliance are required.

This spring is appropriate for use in precision mechanical devices, instruments, valves, and light-duty equipment where a small-diameter compression spring with controlled load characteristics is specified. The 0.25-inch hole diameter compatibility and 0.329-inch solid height make it suitable for compact assemblies with limited axial space. It is commonly installed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, and equipment maintenance specialists working on spring-loaded components in residential and commercial systems.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for stable, perpendicular seating under compression load
• Music wire construction meets ASTM A228 and AISI 302 standards for consistent tensile strength
• Spring rate of 22 pounds per inch provides predictable deflection characteristics
• Maximum work load of 9 pounds suitable for light-duty precision applications
• Plain silver finish with no added coating, compatible with a wide range of media
• Compact solid height of 0.329 inches fits tight axial envelopes

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or OEM-style compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch outside diameter and 0.75-inch free length spring with a 0.25-inch hole diameter fitment.

Installation Notes

This spring is installed by qualified mechanical or HVAC technicians during equipment assembly or service. Ensure the mating bore and pin dimensions are confirmed before installation to prevent binding or misalignment. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing spring-loaded components. Avoid overstressing the spring beyond its rated maximum work load of 9 pounds to maintain service life.
