Gardner Spring 36323G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36323G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It measures 0.24 inches in outside diameter and 1.25 inches in free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0319 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 13.5 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 10 pounds (44.48 N). Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating under compression load. This part is suited for mechanical assemblies, tooling, valves, and equipment where consistent return force and precise dimensional tolerances are required.

The 36323G fits into hole diameters up to 0.25 inches, making it appropriate for compact mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and light manufacturing applications. Its small form factor and music wire construction make it a standard choice for valve actuators, tool mechanisms, and other load-cycling components requiring repeatable spring performance. Licensed technicians and mechanical assemblers working on equipment with spring-loaded components will find this part a direct-fit option for similarly dimensioned seats.

Key Features

• Closed and ground end type for flat, stable seating under compression load
• 13.5 lb/in spring rate for consistent, predictable return force
• 10-pound maximum work load capacity
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Solid height of 0.491 inches allows compact installation in tight assemblies
• Plain silver finish - no coating interference with dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch OD, 1.25-inch free length, and 0.0319-inch wire diameter in a closed and ground end configuration fitting holes up to 0.25 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers during equipment service or build. Before replacing or installing compression springs in pressurized or powered assemblies, de-energize all electrical circuits and relieve system pressure per applicable service procedures. Verify seating surfaces are clean and free of burrs to maintain dimensional accuracy. Do not exceed the rated maximum work load to avoid permanent spring set or premature failure.
