Gardner Spring 36461G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36461G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.48-inch outside diameter, a 2-inch free length, and a wire diameter of 0.0382 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 4.25 lb/in and a maximum work load of 6.0 pounds. With closed and ground ends and a solid height of 0.407 inches, this part is built to close tolerances for consistent, repeatable performance. It is used by mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial technicians wherever a compact, calibrated compression spring is required in assemblies or equipment.

This compression spring is suited for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, HVAC equipment components, plumbing fixtures, and general industrial hardware applications. Its 0.5-inch hole diameter fit and compact 2-inch free length make it a practical choice for confined-space spring seats in both residential and commercial equipment. Minimum order quantity is 1; springs are packaged in quantities of 5.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by mechanical and HVAC technicians as part of valve, actuator, or assembly service work. Power down or depressurize the associated system before disassembly. Verify the spring seat and hole diameter clearance against the 0.5-inch hole diameter spec before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.407 inches during installation or operation.
