Gardner Spring M-8C24C Compression Spring 0.184 in Od 12 in

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING M-8C24C is a cut-to-length compression spring designed for applications requiring a customizable working length. With an outside diameter of 0.184 inches and a 12-inch free length, this spring can be trimmed to the required dimension in the field or on the bench. Wire diameter measures 0.023 inches, and the spring carries a rate of 0.67 inch-pounds per inch. Constructed from stainless steel with a galvanized finish, the M-8C24C is suited for environments where corrosion resistance and consistent spring force over repeated cycles are required. Technicians across mechanical, HVAC, and industrial service trades work with springs of this type for damper linkages, valve assemblies, and control mechanisms.

This cut-to-length spring is appropriate for light-duty compression applications in both residential and commercial settings. Its 12-inch free length provides flexibility when replacing or fabricating spring assemblies where the exact working length varies by installation. The small outside diameter makes it compatible with tight-clearance spring pockets and guide pins commonly found in control linkages, damper actuators, and similar mechanical sub-assemblies. Sold in a package quantity of three, it supports bench stocking for service technicians who regularly encounter a range of spring replacement needs.

Key Features

• 0.023-inch wire diameter delivers precise, repeatable spring rate
• Spring rate of 0.67 inch-pounds per inch for consistent light-duty compression force
• Stainless steel construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• 12-inch free length provides maximum versatility across varied installation dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or fabrication-stock compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.184-inch outside diameter cut-to-length spring.

Installation Notes

Cut-to-length compression springs should be trimmed using proper spring cutters to maintain square, burr-free ends that seat correctly under load. Always relieve any system tension or pressure before removing or replacing springs in control linkages or valve assemblies. Verify the required working length and load requirements against the assembly specifications before cutting. Installed length should allow adequate preload without fully compressing the spring coils solid during normal operation.
