Gardner Spring 36629GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36629GS is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and designed for applications that demand consistent force output and dimensional accuracy. This spring features a 0.97-inch outside diameter and a 3-inch free length, with a wire diameter of 0.1051 inches and a spring rate of 26.96 pounds per inch. The closed and ground end type ensures stable seating and predictable load behavior. With a maximum work load of 56 pounds, it is suited for medium-duty mechanical assemblies where controlled compression travel is required. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and service professionals in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment repair commonly install this type of spring.

This precision compression spring fits applications where a hole diameter of up to 1 inch accommodates the spring body. It is appropriate for use in valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, damper controls, and similar mechanical systems found in residential and light commercial equipment. The silver plain finish and stainless steel construction make it suitable for environments with mild moisture exposure. The solid height of 1.17 inches establishes the compression limit, which should be accounted for during assembly design and installation.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• Closed and ground ends for stable, flat seating and accurate load transfer
• 0.97-inch outside diameter fits standard 1-inch bore applications
• 56-pound maximum work load with a spring rate of 26.96 pounds per inch
• Solid height of 1.17 inches provides a defined compression limit
• Meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a precision replacement or OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.97-inch outside diameter, 3-inch free length, and closed-and-ground end type configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or service professionals during equipment repair or assembly. Confirm that the mating bore or rod dimensions align with the 1-inch hole diameter and 0.97-inch outside diameter before installation. Ensure the assembly does not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 1.17 inches during normal operation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing springs in actuator or valve assemblies.
