Gardner Spring 36596G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36596G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards. It features a 0.845-inch outside diameter, a free length of 1.5 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.091 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 41 pounds and a spring rate of 49 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating under load. This spring is suited for OEM assemblies, mechanical subassemblies, and industrial equipment where consistent, repeatable force characteristics are required. Mechanical technicians and OEM assemblers are the typical installers.

The 36596G is used in applications requiring controlled compression force within a confined bore. With a 0.875-inch hole diameter fit and a solid height of 0.874 inches, it fits precisely into standard spring pockets in industrial machinery, HVAC equipment, valve assemblies, and similar mechanical systems. The plain silver finish on the music wire construction suits indoor and controlled-environment applications where corrosion exposure is minimal.

Key Features

• 0.845-inch outside diameter with 0.875-inch recommended hole diameter for precise bore fit
• Spring rate of 49 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable deflection
• Maximum work load of 41 pounds (186.83 newtons)
• Closed and ground end type for flat, stable seating under axial load
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Solid height of 0.874 inches limits over-compression in tight assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.845-inch OD, 1.5-inch free length spring with closed and ground ends in music wire construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or OEM assembly personnel during equipment build or service. Ensure the mating bore and spring pocket dimensions match the specified hole diameter before installation. Relieve all mechanical tension and de-energize any associated actuators or mechanisms before removing or installing the spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.874 inches during assembly or testing.
