Gardner Spring 36473G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36473G is a precision compression spring manufactured from AISI 302 music wire to ASTM A228 and ASTM A313 standards. It delivers a spring rate of 7.7 pounds per inch with a maximum work load of 11 pounds, making it well-suited for applications that demand consistent, repeatable force across a defined compression range. The closed and ground end type provides a stable seating surface and accurate load transfer. With a plain silver finish and 0.045 inch wire diameter, this spring is built for general industrial and mechanical use where dimensional precision matters.

This spring fits into a 0.5 inch diameter hole and has an outside diameter of 0.48 inches, a free length of 2 inches, and a solid height of 0.541 inches. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment, fluid control valves, industrial machinery, and mechanical assemblies where a compact, reliable compression element is required. Technicians and assemblers working in trade environments select this spring for OEM-spec replacement or new installation work requiring consistent load performance.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for stable seating and accurate load distribution
• Music wire construction meeting AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Spring rate of 7.7 pounds per inch for predictable, linear compression response
• Maximum work load rated at 11 pounds (51.16 N)
• Plain silver finish suitable for general mechanical environments
• Compact solid height of 0.541 inches minimizes space requirements under full compression

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or new-build compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48 inch outside diameter, 2 inch free length, and 0.5 inch hole diameter fit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers during equipment service or new assembly. Ensure the mating bore or housing is clean and free of debris before seating the spring. Verify that the solid height clearance and hole diameter in the application match the spring dimensions prior to installation. Compressed spring energy can cause ejection hazards - use appropriate tooling and eye protection when compressing or installing.
