Gardner Spring 36509G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36509G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire with a plain finish. It features a 0.6 inch outside diameter, a 1 inch free length, and a 0.0551 inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 16 pounds and a spring rate of 24 pounds per inch, making it well suited for applications that require consistent, repeatable force in a compact form. Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating and accurate load transfer. This part ships in a package quantity of 5 and carries a minimum order quantity of 1.

This compression spring is used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical assemblies where precise spring force is required. Typical applications include HVAC equipment components, plumbing valve assemblies, electrical switch mechanisms, pump mechanisms, and general-purpose machine elements. The music wire construction and plain finish make it appropriate for dry or low-moisture indoor environments. Technicians and assemblers sourcing OEM-style replacement springs or building new assemblies will find the standardized dimensions straightforward to match against existing hardware.

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or new-build compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6 inch outside diameter, 1 inch free length, and a recommended hole diameter of 0.625 inches (5/8 inch).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers or trade technicians as part of a larger component assembly or repair. Power down and de-energize any equipment before disassembling spring-loaded components to prevent unexpected release of stored energy. Confirm the bore or hole diameter in the mating housing meets the 0.625 inch specification before seating the spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.317 inches during installation or operation.
