Gardner Spring M-A19C Compression Spring 0.5 in Od 12 in

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING M-A19C is a cut-to-length compression spring designed for applications requiring a custom working length trimmed from a standard stock form. With a 0.5-inch outside diameter and a 12-inch free length, this spring ships as a full-length piece that technicians and fabricators cut to the precise dimension the job demands. Wire diameter measures 0.048 inches, and the spring rate is rated at 1.7 pounds per inch. Construction is stainless steel with a galvanized finish, giving the M-A19C solid corrosion resistance for both indoor mechanical assemblies and light-exposure environments. The open end type allows for straightforward trimming without specialized tooling.

Cut-to-length compression springs see use across HVAC equipment, plumbing valve assemblies, electrical panel hardware, and general mechanical systems where a stock spring length does not match the required travel or load specification. The M-A19C is particularly suited to maintenance and fabrication shops that stock a single piece and cut multiple working lengths from it, reducing on-hand inventory while covering a range of service calls or builds. It ships in a package quantity of three pieces per order unit.

Key Features

• Cut-to-length form factor allows one stock piece to serve multiple finished-length requirements
• 0.5-inch outside diameter fits standard spring pockets and guides designed for half-inch OD springs
• 12-inch free length provides generous stock for multiple cuts per piece
• 0.048-inch wire diameter supports a 1.7 lb/in spring rate suitable for light to moderate load applications
• Stainless steel construction with galvanized finish resists corrosion in damp or mildly exposed environments
• Open end type simplifies field trimming with standard metal cutting tools

Compatibility

Designed as a cut-to-length replacement or fabrication spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.5-inch OD compression spring with an open end style; confirm wire diameter, spring rate, and trimmed working length against the original specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Cut-to-length compression springs should be trimmed using appropriate metal cutting tools; deburr cut ends before installation to prevent damage to mating components or personal injury. Power down or depressurize any system before removing or installing springs under load. A licensed technician or qualified fabricator should verify the trimmed free length and installed load against the original equipment specification. Dispose of metal cuttings safely and in compliance with local regulations.
