Gardner Spring MC039-0185-S Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC039-0185-S 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 12.91 pounds and a spring rate of 6.8 pound-inches. Closed ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer across the compression cycle. This part is suited for applications requiring repeatable performance in tight tolerances, and it is typically handled by mechanical, HVAC, or industrial equipment technicians during assembly or repair work.

This compression spring is appropriate for light-duty precision applications in residential and commercial equipment. Its small form factor and stainless steel construction make it well-suited for environments where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are required. Common install scenarios include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, and small device housings where controlled spring force is critical to proper function.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction with plain finish for corrosion resistance
• Closed end type for stable, flat seating against mating surfaces
• 0.222-inch outside diameter for tight-clearance applications
• Maximum work load of 12.91 pounds with a spring rate of 6.8 pound-inches
• Solid height of 0.285 inches limits over-compression in confined spaces
• Conforms to DIN 17223, DIN 17224, and DIN 2095 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies, valve components, and light industrial or HVAC equipment requiring a 0.222-inch OD closed-end spring in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical or HVAC technicians. De-energize and depressurize any system before replacing internal spring components. Verify seating surfaces are clean and free of debris to ensure proper spring alignment and consistent load performance. Handle small precision springs with care to avoid distortion of the coil geometry during installation.
