Gardner Spring 36320GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36320GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel to AISI 302 and ASTM standards. It features a 0.24-inch outside diameter and a 0.75-inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.032 inches. The spring delivers a spring rate of 19.13 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 9.0 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating under load. This type of spring is commonly installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and industrial equipment technicians working on precision mechanical assemblies.

This compression spring suits a wide range of light-duty industrial, commercial, and mechanical applications where precise force control is required. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for valves, actuators, instrumentation, and other assemblies that require consistent, repeatable spring force within a small footprint. The plain silver finish and stainless steel construction make it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction conforms to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Closed and ground end type provides flat, stable seating surface for consistent load transfer
• Spring rate of 19.13 pounds per inch for predictable deflection behavior
• Maximum work load of 9.0 pounds suits light-duty precision applications
• Solid height of 0.329 inches limits compression travel and protects assembly components
• Fits hole diameter of 0.25 inches for straightforward installation alignment

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel during assembly or repair of spring-loaded components. Ensure the mating bore or hole diameter is within tolerance before seating the spring. Avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.329 inches, as doing so can cause permanent set and loss of rated spring force. Wear appropriate hand protection when handling small-diameter springs to avoid injury from wire ends.
