Gardner Spring 36341GS Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36341GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel to deliver consistent, repeatable force across demanding mechanical and industrial applications. With a 0.24 inch outside diameter and a 1 inch free length, this spring operates at a spring rate of 41.74 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 18 pounds. The closed and ground end type ensures flat, stable seating against mating surfaces, reducing lateral shift under load. It is suited for installation by mechanical technicians, maintenance engineers, and trade professionals working on assemblies that require controlled compression and precise load characteristics.

This spring is commonly used in HVAC equipment, plumbing valve assemblies, electrical components, and general mechanical assemblies where a compact compression spring with predictable load-deflection behavior is required. The 0.24 inch outside diameter fits holes up to 0.25 inch in diameter, making it practical for tight-clearance applications in both residential and light commercial equipment. Its stainless steel construction performs reliably in environments exposed to moisture, mild corrosives, or temperature variation.

Key Features

• Spring rate of 41.74 pounds per inch for predictable, linear load-deflection performance
• Maximum work load of 18 pounds with a solid height of 0.621 inches
• Stainless steel construction with plain finish resists corrosion and moisture exposure
• Manufactured to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring suitable for use in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24 inch outside diameter spring with a 1 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or qualified trade professionals. Verify the mating bore diameter does not exceed 0.25 inches and that the spring seating surfaces are clean and flat before installation. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any associated equipment before servicing spring-loaded assemblies. Avoid overpowering the spring beyond its rated maximum work load, as exceeding the solid height can cause permanent set and loss of spring function.
