Gardner Spring 36371G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36371G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.3-inch outside diameter, a 1.5-inch free length, and a wire diameter of 0.032 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 7 lb/in and a maximum work load of 7 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating against mating surfaces, which is critical for consistent load performance in tight-tolerance assemblies. This spring is sold in packages of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

This spring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and equipment manufacturing applications. Its compact dimensions make it a practical choice for valve assemblies, actuators, latching mechanisms, and similar components where controlled axial force is required. The solid height of 0.45 inches limits deflection travel, making it appropriate for applications with defined compression stroke requirements.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and accurate load transfer
• 7 lb/in spring rate for consistent, predictable force response
• Maximum work load of 7 pounds (33.36 N)
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• 0.45-inch solid height limits compression travel for stroke-controlled applications
• Plain silver finish suitable for a wide range of dry or lightly lubricated environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.3-inch outside diameter and 1.5-inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical technicians or assemblers familiar with spring-loaded component assemblies. Ensure the mating bore or post dimensions are compatible with the 0.313-inch hole diameter and 0.3-inch outside diameter before installation. De-energize or depressurize any system before servicing spring-loaded assemblies. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.45 inches, as doing so may cause permanent set and degrade load performance.
