Gardner Spring 36518GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36518GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for reliable performance in demanding mechanical assemblies. It features a 0.6 inch outside diameter and a 2 inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.063 inches and a solid height of 0.692 inches. The spring delivers a spring rate of 15.22 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 22 pounds (88.91 N). Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating under load. This spring is suited for use by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working with precision spring-loaded components.

This compression spring is designed for use in precision mechanical applications where consistent force and dimensional accuracy are required. Typical install scenarios include spring-loaded valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, and equipment with close-tolerance bores or shafts. The 0.625 inch hole diameter clearance makes it compatible with standard bore sizing. It is sold in packages of five units and is appropriate for both OEM production builds and field replacement situations across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable load transfer and accurate seating
• 0.063 inch wire diameter with a 0.6 inch outside diameter for precision fitment
• Spring rate of 15.22 pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection behavior
• Maximum work load rated at 22 pounds (88.91 N)
• Stainless steel construction with plain finish for corrosion resistance
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6 inch outside diameter and 2 inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with spring-loaded mechanical assemblies. De-energize or depressurize the system before removing or installing the spring. Verify bore and shaft clearances against the 0.625 inch hole diameter and 0.6 inch outside diameter before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.692 inches during assembly.
