Gardner Spring 36494G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36494G 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 1 inch free length, and a 0.072 inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 44 pounds and a spring rate of 104.01 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer. This spring is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, plumbing components, and general industrial applications where precise spring force and repeatable travel are required.

This compression spring is designed for installations requiring controlled force within a compact envelope. With a hole diameter fit of 0.5 inches and a solid height of 0.572 inches, it fits standard spring pockets and bores common in light mechanical and fluid-control assemblies. Technicians working on valve bodies, actuators, pressure relief mechanisms, and related equipment will find this spring a direct-fit solution for OEM-style replacements or new builds. Packaged in quantities of 5, it is well suited for service shops that regularly stock precision spring hardware.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for mechanical assemblies requiring a precision compression spring with a 0.48 inch outside diameter and 1 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with spring-loaded mechanical assemblies. Depressurize and de-energize any system before removing or installing compression springs to prevent sudden release of stored energy. Verify that the mating bore diameter and pocket depth match the spring dimensions before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.572 inches during assembly.
