Gardner Spring MC010-0302-S Compression Spring 0.591 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC010-0302-S is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features an outside diameter of 0.591 inches (15 mm) and a free length of 1.189 inches (30.2 mm), making it a compact, high-load component suited for demanding mechanical assemblies. With a maximum work load of 214.03 pounds and a spring rate of 17.24 lb/in, this spring delivers consistent, repeatable force across its compression cycle. Closed and ground ends provide stable, flat seating on mating surfaces, reducing tilt and improving load distribution in service. Maintenance technicians, OEM assemblers, and mechanical contractors specify this part where corrosion resistance and precision performance are required.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in light-to-medium industrial equipment, HVAC component assemblies, fluid control valves, pumps, and general mechanical applications where a sub-one-inch OD spring with a defined spring rate is specified. The stainless steel construction makes it well suited for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact. It ships in a package quantity of three units, allowing technicians to stock spares or fulfill small-batch assembly requirements without over-ordering.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.591 inches (15 mm) for precise fit in standard spring seats and bores
• 214.03 lb maximum work load supports demanding compression applications
• Spring rate of 17.24 lb/in provides predictable, linear force output
• Closed and ground end type ensures flat, stable seating and reduced lateral deflection
• Stainless steel construction with plain finish resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Solid height of 0.65 inches (16.5 mm) limits over-compression and protects mating components

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.591-inch outside diameter, 1.189-inch free length, and closed-and-ground end configuration in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers familiar with spring-loaded component assemblies. De-energize and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing compression springs. Verify that the spring seat diameter, bore clearance, and free length match the application requirements before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during assembly, as doing so can cause permanent set and reduce service life.
