Gardner Spring 36410G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36410G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.36-inch outside diameter and a 1-inch free length, making it a compact, tightly toleranced component suited for mechanical assemblies that require consistent, repeatable load characteristics. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 6 pounds and a spring rate of 8.5 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and uniform load distribution. Mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and precision assembly technicians install this type of spring in production and service applications.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, tooling, and industrial equipment where a small-diameter, short-length spring with predictable deflection behavior is required. Its compact form factor suits tight-clearance installations where precise load control is needed. The 0.375-inch hole diameter recommendation allows straightforward installation in a standard bore or housing. Sold in packs of five, this spring is well suited for service shops and assembly operations that need reliable stock quantities on hand.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for stable, flat seating and accurate load measurement
• Music wire construction per ASTM A228 for consistent tensile strength and fatigue resistance
• Spring rate of 8.5 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection behavior
• Maximum work load of 6 pounds with a solid height of 0.241 inches
• Plain silver finish suitable for general mechanical environments
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a precision compression spring for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36-inch outside diameter and 1-inch free length with a recommended housing hole diameter of 0.375 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals during assembly or repair procedures. Always relieve any stored mechanical energy and isolate the assembly from power or pressure sources before removing or replacing compression springs. Verify that the housing bore and seating surfaces are clean and free of burrs before installing the spring to ensure proper seating of the ground ends. Use appropriate hand tools and follow any applicable equipment manufacturer service procedures.
