Gardner Spring MC039-0185-M Compression Spring 0.222in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC039-0185-M is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features a 0.222-inch outside diameter and a free length of 0.728 inches, with a solid height of 0.285 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 15.49 pounds and a spring rate of 6.8 pound-inches, making it well suited for compact, load-bearing assemblies that require repeatable deflection characteristics. Closed ends provide stable seating against mating surfaces without secondary grinding. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical tradespeople install these springs in actuators, valves, and precision mechanical subassemblies.

This compression spring is intended for applications where tight dimensional tolerances and consistent spring rate are required. It performs in light-duty mechanical assemblies, valve seats, actuator returns, and instrument-grade components. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or mildly corrosive service environments. Package quantity is 5 springs per pack, with a minimum order quantity of 1 pack, making it practical for both bench-level repair work and small production runs.

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style replacement compression spring for compact mechanical assemblies, valve mechanisms, and actuator subassemblies requiring a 0.222-inch outside diameter and 0.728-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed mechanical, HVAC, or plumbing technicians as part of valve, actuator, or instrument assembly service. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any associated electrical circuits before disassembling components containing this spring. Confirm the replacement spring outside diameter, free length, and spring rate match the original specification before installation. Inspect the mating spring seat and guide surfaces for wear or damage prior to reassembly.
