Gardner Spring C36C Utility Compression Spring 0.375in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING C36C is a utility compression spring designed for general mechanical and industrial applications where reliable load resistance and consistent return force are required. Built with a 0.375 inch outside diameter and a 1.5 inch free length, this spring delivers a spring rate of 20.33 pounds per inch and handles a maximum work load of 79.59 pounds. The closed end type provides stable seating against mating surfaces. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, it is suited for a wide range of light-duty to medium-duty service environments. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and trade professionals install this type of spring in equipment, fixtures, valves, and tool assemblies.

This compression spring fits general utility applications across residential and commercial equipment. Common uses include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, tool components, and equipment housings where a compact spring with predictable load characteristics is needed. The 0.0476 inch wire diameter and 0.584 inch solid height make it appropriate for tight clearance environments. It ships in a package quantity of 12, making it convenient for bench stock or small-batch repair work.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this type are installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers. Before servicing any assembly containing compression springs, relieve all stored energy and depressurize or de-energize the system as applicable. Ensure the spring pocket or guide rod diameter is compatible with the 0.375 inch OD before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
