Gardner Spring 36512G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36512G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313). It features a 0.6000 inch outside diameter, a 2.0000 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 11 pounds per inch, making it well suited for applications that require consistent, repeatable force in a compact form factor. Closed and ground ends provide flat seating surfaces for stable load transfer. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals install this type of spring across a wide range of industrial and OEM applications.

This compression spring fits inside a hole diameter of 0.6250 inches (5/8 inch) and compresses to a solid height of 0.5420 inches. It is appropriate for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, tooling fixtures, and similar applications where a small-diameter, precision-wound spring with a defined load-to-deflection ratio is required. The plain silver finish is standard for music wire springs in dry or lightly lubricated environments. Package quantity is 5 pieces with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Key Features

• 0.6000 inch outside diameter fits a 0.6250 inch (5/8 inch) bore
• 11 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable deflection under load
• 16 pound maximum work load with a solid height of 0.5420 inches
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Plain finish suitable for dry or lightly lubricated mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6000 inch outside diameter and 2.0000 inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assembly technicians or maintenance personnel. Confirm that the mating bore diameter is at or above 0.6250 inches and that the spring seat is clean and flat before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.5420 inches during assembly or operation. Verify that the maximum work load does not exceed 16 pounds in the intended application.
