Gardner Spring 36464GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36464GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for reliable performance in demanding mechanical applications. It features a 0.48-inch outside diameter and a 1-inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.0421 inches and a solid height of 0.274 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 9 pounds and a spring rate of 11.3 pounds per inch, making it well-suited for applications that require consistent, repeatable force across a controlled deflection range. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and uniform load distribution. Licensed mechanical tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This spring is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies where controlled compression force is required. Common applications include HVAC equipment components, plumbing valve mechanisms, and general industrial assemblies. The 0.5-inch hole diameter fit and compact 1-inch free length make it appropriate for tight-space installations inside control assemblies, valve bodies, and actuator mechanisms. The plain silver finish and stainless steel construction support use in mildly corrosive or moisture-exposed environments typical of mechanical rooms and utility spaces.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Closed and ground ends for stable seating and consistent load transfer
• 0.48-inch outside diameter fits a 0.5-inch hole diameter
• 9-pound maximum work load with an 11.3 lb/in spring rate
• Compact 1-inch free length and 0.274-inch solid height for space-constrained assemblies
• Plain silver finish suitable for light corrosive environments

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style replacement compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch outside diameter, 1-inch free length, closed and ground end compression spring.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed mechanical technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Depressurize and de-energize any assembly before removing or replacing internal spring components. Ensure the spring seats fully against closed and ground end contact surfaces to maintain rated load characteristics. Inspect the mating bore and rod for wear or damage before installing a replacement spring.
