Gardner Spring 8C12C Compression Spring 0.844 in Od 12 in

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 8C12C is a cut-to-length compression spring designed for industrial and mechanical applications where a standard fixed-length spring does not meet dimensional requirements. Manufactured from galvanized steel, this spring measures 0.844 inches outside diameter with a 12-inch free length and a wire diameter of 0.1055 inches. The spring rate is 11.6 pounds per inch, making it suitable for moderate-load applications. Open ends allow the spring to be cut to a custom working length on the job, giving installers flexibility without requiring a special-order part. Technicians and maintenance professionals working in mechanical, HVAC, or industrial equipment applications are the primary installers.

This compression spring fits applications where a 0.844-inch OD fits the guide rod or housing and a free length of up to 12 inches is needed before cutting to final size. The galvanized steel finish provides corrosion resistance for use in light-moisture environments. The open-end configuration and consistent spring rate of 11.6 pounds per inch make this suitable for tensioning, return, or positioning functions in mechanical assemblies. It ships in a package quantity of 3 with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Cut-to-length design allows trimming to custom working lengths in the field
• 0.844-inch outside diameter fits standard guide rods and spring housings of that bore size
• 11.6 pounds-per-inch spring rate provides consistent, predictable load deflection
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in light-moisture environments
• Open ends permit clean cuts without additional end finishing in most applications
• 12-inch free length provides maximum flexibility before field trimming

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.844-inch OD open-end compression spring with a spring rate near 11.6 pounds per inch.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals familiar with spring selection and mechanical assemblies. Before servicing any equipment, de-energize the system and relieve any stored mechanical energy or pressure. Use proper wire or spring cutters when trimming to final length to ensure a clean, consistent cut. Verify the cut length against the required compressed and free-length specifications before final installation.
