Gardner Spring 36554G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36554G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire (AISI 302 / ASTM A228 / ASTM A313) with a plain silver finish. It features a 0.72-inch outside diameter, a 2.5-inch free length, and a 0.072-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 24 pounds and a spring rate of 14 pounds per inch, with closed and ground ends for stable seating. This type of spring is used across industrial, HVAC, and mechanical assembly applications where consistent load and deflection characteristics are required.

The 36554G suits applications requiring a compact, medium-rate compression spring in machine assemblies, valve mechanisms, actuators, and similar components. Its closed and ground end configuration allows it to seat flat against mating surfaces, making it appropriate for precision assemblies where squareness and load consistency matter. A solid height of 0.869 inches and a fitting hole diameter of 0.75 inches define its installation envelope. Mechanical technicians, assemblers, and field service professionals working with industrial or HVAC equipment are the typical installers.

Key Features

• Precision compression spring with closed and ground ends for stable, square seating
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• 0.72-inch outside diameter fits holes up to 0.75 inches
• Spring rate of 14 pounds per inch with a 24-pound maximum work load
• Plain silver finish suitable for general-purpose dry or light-duty environments
• Solid height of 0.869 inches limits compression travel in tight assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.72-inch OD, 2.5-inch free length, closed and ground end spring with a 14 pound-per-inch spring rate.

Installation Notes

Install by a qualified mechanical technician or assembler familiar with spring-loaded components. Confirm the mating bore or housing diameter accommodates the 0.75-inch hole diameter specification before installation. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any actuators or mechanisms before removing or replacing compression springs. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.869 inches during installation or operation.
