Gardner Spring 36413G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36413G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire to meet close-tolerance mechanical and industrial applications. It measures 0.36 inches in outside diameter with a 2-inch free length and a wire diameter of 0.032 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 4 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 6 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating against mating surfaces. Finish is plain silver. This part is suited for use in assemblies requiring consistent, repeatable force characteristics in a compact form factor.

This compression spring is commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, tooling fixtures, and precision equipment where controlled force and accurate deflection are required. The compact outside diameter and 2-inch free length make it a practical fit for spring pockets or bores up to 0.375 inches in diameter. It is appropriate for both original equipment manufacturing and maintenance or repair applications across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.36 inches fits standard 0.375-inch (3/8-inch) hole diameter
• Spring rate of 4 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection
• Maximum work load rated at 6 pounds (27.80 newtons)
• Closed and ground ends for flat seating and reduced buckling tendency
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Solid height of 0.421 inches for compact compression travel

Compatibility

Designed for use in spring pockets or bores with a hole diameter up to 0.375 inches. Suitable as a precision replacement compression spring in light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36-inch OD and 2-inch free length specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or trades personnel as part of assembly, valve, or actuator service. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize the equipment before disassembling any spring-loaded component. Verify that the replacement spring OD, free length, wire diameter, and spring rate match the application requirements before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
