Gardner Spring 36536GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36536GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and designed for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force across a compressed travel range. The spring measures 0.6 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1.5 inches and a wire diameter of 0.085 inches. It delivers a spring rate of 74.58 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 63 pounds. The closed and ground end type provides flat, stable seating against mating surfaces. This spring is installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working on equipment requiring precision load characteristics.

This compression spring suits residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where controlled compression force is needed in a compact envelope. The 0.6 inch outside diameter fits into a hole diameter of 0.625 inches, making it suitable for guided spring installations. It is appropriate for HVAC components, plumbing valve assemblies, and general mechanical equipment where stainless steel corrosion resistance and precise spring rate are required. Its silver plain finish and stainless steel construction make it viable in wet or corrosive service environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.6 inch outside diameter spring fitting into a 0.625 inch guide hole with a 1.5 inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed mechanical or HVAC technicians. De-energize and depressurize the equipment fully before removing or installing compression springs in valve or actuator assemblies. Verify that the mating bore diameter, free length, and spring rate match application requirements before installation. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or releasing spring tension.
