Gardner Spring 36428G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36428G is a precision compression spring made from music wire, suited for a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications. It has an outside diameter of 0.36 inches, a free length of 1 inch, and a wire diameter of 0.045 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 16 pounds and a spring rate of 28 pounds per inch. The closed and ground end type provides stable seating and consistent load transfer. This part is commonly specified by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and equipment service professionals who require repeatable spring performance in tight tolerances.

The 36428G is suited for use in precision mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, industrial equipment, and tool components where a compact compression spring with a reliable spring rate is required. The music wire construction and plain silver finish make it appropriate for dry or lightly lubricated environments. It fits into a hole diameter of 0.375 inches and collapses to a solid height of 0.417 inches, making it compatible with shallow-cavity applications. Sold in a package quantity of 5.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or equipment service professionals. Ensure the mating bore or hole diameter accommodates the 0.375-inch fit dimension before installation. Relieve any system pressure or mechanical load before replacing or installing compression springs in live assemblies. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
