Gardner Spring 36482GS Compression Spring 0.48in Od Stainless

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36482GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for reliable, repeatable performance in demanding mechanical assemblies. It features a 0.48 inch outside diameter and a 1 inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.063 inches and a solid height of 0.505 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 28 pounds and a spring rate of 49.57 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable, square seating against mating components. This part is suited for mechanical engineers, MRO technicians, HVAC assemblers, and industrial maintenance professionals who need a precision-rated spring to spec.

This spring is appropriate for use in light-to-medium load mechanical applications where consistent spring rate and dimensional accuracy are required. Typical installations include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, and component return applications found in HVAC equipment, plumbing valve bodies, and general industrial machinery. The 0.5 inch hole diameter fitment and stainless steel construction make it well suited for environments with moisture exposure or mild corrosive conditions. Sold in packages of five, with a minimum order quantity of one package.

Compatibility

Designed as a precision-grade replacement or specification compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48 inch OD, 1 inch free length, closed and ground end spring in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical or maintenance technicians as part of valve, actuator, or spring-loaded assembly service. Ensure the mating bore and shaft dimensions match the 0.5 inch hole diameter and 0.48 inch OD before installation. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any connected components before disassembling spring-loaded mechanisms. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.505 inches during assembly.
