Gardner Spring 36614G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36614G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire for consistent, repeatable performance in mechanical assemblies. It has an outside diameter of 0.97 inches, a free length of 2.5 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.085 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 38 pounds and a spring rate of 20.46 pounds per inch. Ends are closed and ground, which provides flat, stable seating surfaces for accurate load transfer. This type of spring is used by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and industrial service professionals working on equipment that requires precise force control.

This precision compression spring fits into a hole diameter of 1 inch and compresses to a solid height of 0.639 inches. It is suited for use in industrial machinery, HVAC equipment, fluid control valves, actuators, and other mechanical systems where a compact, accurate compression spring is required. The closed and ground end configuration makes it appropriate for both static and dynamic load applications in residential and commercial equipment alike.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.97 inches fits standard 1-inch bore or hole diameter
• Spring rate of 20.46 lb/in provides predictable, linear compression force
• Maximum work load of 38 pounds supports moderate to medium-duty load requirements
• Closed and ground ends ensure flat seating and accurate load distribution
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Plain silver finish - no coating to add dimensional variability

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.97-inch OD, 2.5-inch free length, closed and ground end spring in a 1-inch hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Compression springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Always de-energize and depressurize the system before removing or installing springs in valve bodies, actuators, or similar components. Verify the solid height clearance of 0.639 inches is accommodated within the assembly before compressing to maximum load. Do not exceed the rated maximum work load of 38 pounds, as over-compression can permanently set or damage the spring.
