Gardner Spring 36560G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36560G 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 1.5-inch free length, and a 0.085-inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a rated load capacity of 53 pounds and a spring rate of 60.5 pounds per inch, making it well-suited for applications that demand consistent, repeatable force output. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and accurate load transfer. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and OEM production teams are the typical installers of this component.

This compression spring is used in a wide range of light-to-medium-duty mechanical assemblies where precise spring force is required. Its 0.72-inch outside diameter is sized to fit inside a bore of 0.75 inches. Typical applications include valves, actuators, pneumatic components, tooling fixtures, and industrial equipment assemblies where AISI 302 or ASTM A228 music wire springs are specified. The solid height of 0.617 inches establishes the minimum compressed dimension for design clearance calculations.

• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• 0.72-inch outside diameter fits a 0.75-inch bore diameter
• Solid height of 0.617 inches supports design-clearance planning

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies specifying a 0.72-inch outside diameter, 1.5-inch free length, music wire spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, or OEM production personnel. Before servicing any assembly containing this spring, depressurize and de-energize the system per applicable equipment lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that bore and shaft dimensions match the spring outside diameter and solid height to prevent coil binding or misalignment. Do not compress this spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
