It features a 0.6000-inch outside diameter and a 2.0000-inch free length, making it a compact, load-bearing component suited for mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, valves, and industrial hardware. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 16 pounds and a spring rate of 9.57 pounds per inch, offering consistent, repeatable force output under compression. Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating surfaces for accurate load transfer. Licensed mechanical technicians, HVAC installers, and maintenance professionals install this type of spring in precision equipment and control mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems where controlled force, compact geometry, and corrosion resistance are required. Typical applications include valve actuators, damper linkages, control assemblies, and general mechanical components where a small-diameter stainless steel spring with defined load characteristics is specified. The 0.055-inch wire diameter and closed-and-ground end configuration make it suitable for precision-fit applications where consistent solid height of 0.5420 inches matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutside diameter of 0.6000 inches fits standard 5\/8-inch hole diameter clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends provide flat seating for accurate load distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 16 pounds with a 9.57 pound-per-inch spring rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.5420 inches supports accurate travel and deflection calculations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain silver finish with no coating  -  suitable for corrosion-resistant environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a precision-fit replacement or OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies, valve bodies, and control hardware specifying a 0.6000-inch OD, 2-inch free length, closed-and-ground end stainless steel spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of compression springs should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the host assembly. Depressurize or de-energize the system fully before disassembling any spring-loaded component. Verify the solid height, free length, and hole clearance against the assembly specification before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0551 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5420 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.0000 pounds (62.82 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.57 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed and Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6250 inches (5\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI 302, ASTM A228, ASTM A313\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36512GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52082053841202,"sku":"36512GS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ffdb818d63af51febcfd78e9f2a6e604.jpg?v=1790056566","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36512gs-precision-compression-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
