Gardner Spring 36365GS Compression Spring 0.3in Od Ss

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36365GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel to deliver consistent, repeatable force in demanding mechanical applications. With a 0.3-inch outside diameter and a 1.5-inch free length, this spring is sized for compact assemblies where precise load characteristics are critical. It carries a maximum work load of 4 pounds and a spring rate of 3.04 pounds per inch, making it suitable for applications requiring controlled, predictable deflection. The closed and ground end type ensures stable, flat seating against mating components. This spring is an off-the-shelf solution for engineers, maintenance technicians, and machinists who need a reliable, standards-compliant compression spring in a small form factor.

This spring is used across a wide range of light industrial, mechanical, HVAC, and equipment maintenance applications. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild corrosive conditions. The 0.026-inch wire diameter and precision tolerances allow it to fit into bores up to 0.313 inches. It is commonly specified in valve assemblies, switch mechanisms, instrumentation, and small actuator systems where consistent spring behavior over repeated cycles is required.

Key Features

• 0.3-inch outside diameter with 0.026-inch wire diameter for compact bore fitment
• 1.5-inch free length with a solid height of 0.301 inches
• 4-pound maximum work load at a 3.04 lb/in spring rate
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating against mating surfaces
• Stainless steel construction with plain finish for corrosion resistance
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style replacement or direct specification compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.3-inch OD, 1.5-inch free length spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or mechanical assemblers. Confirm bore diameter is at or near 0.313 inches to allow proper spring travel without binding. De-energize or fully relieve pressure from any assembly before removing or installing compression springs to prevent uncontrolled release of stored energy. Inspect mating seats for burrs or damage that could affect spring seating and load distribution.
