Gardner Spring C2C Utility Compression Spring 0.188 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING C2C is a utility compression spring designed for general mechanical and industrial applications requiring a compact, lightweight spring element. With a 0.188-inch outside diameter and a 1.5-inch free length, it fits tight-clearance assemblies where space is limited. The wire diameter measures 0.0228 inches, and the spring delivers a maximum load of 4.1 pounds at a spring rate of 4.25 pounds per inch. Closed ends provide stable seating on flat surfaces. Finished in zinc over steel construction, this spring resists wear in standard service environments. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and equipment service professionals commonly source this type of spring for light-duty replacement and repair work.

This compression spring suits a wide range of utility applications including light-load mechanisms, valve assemblies, latches, electronic enclosures, and general OEM equipment. Its small form factor makes it appropriate for residential and commercial equipment repairs where a compact, closed-end compression spring with predictable load characteristics is needed. The solid height of 0.535 inches keeps deflection range manageable for precise load applications. Sold in packages of 12 units, making it practical for service kits or bench stock.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers or equipment service technicians. Ensure the mating bore or spring seat is clean and free of debris before installation. Depressurize or de-energize any assembly before replacing compression springs to prevent uncontrolled release of stored energy. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
