Gardner Spring 36626G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36626G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards. It features a 0.97-inch outside diameter, a 2.5-inch free length, and a wire diameter of 0.1051 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 38 pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 57 pounds (258.01 N). Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating under load. This part is installed by mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and industrial assembly teams working with precision spring-loaded assemblies.

This compression spring is suited for use in light industrial equipment, HVAC mechanical assemblies, fluid control mechanisms, and general-purpose spring-loaded applications requiring consistent force output and tight dimensional tolerances. Its 1.0-inch solid height and 1.0-inch hole diameter make it a practical fit for standard spring pockets and guide rod configurations commonly encountered in production and field service environments.

Key Features

• 0.97-inch outside diameter with 0.1051-inch wire diameter for precise fitment in spring pockets
• 38 lb/in spring rate for consistent, predictable deflection under load
• 57-pound maximum work load capacity
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and accurate load transfer
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• Plain silver finish; no coating to interfere with dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for general industrial, mechanical, and HVAC assembly applications requiring a 0.97-inch OD, 2.5-inch free-length compression spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and depressurize the assembly before replacing or inspecting compression springs. Verify the spring pocket depth, hole diameter, and rod clearance against the spring dimensions before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 1.0 inch during installation or operation.
