Gardner Spring MC040-0205-S Compression Spring Stainless

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC040-0205-S is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features a closed end type, an outside diameter of 0.217 inches, and a free length of 0.807 inches. The spring rate is 2.73 inch-pounds per inch, with a maximum work load of 6.7 pounds. This small-format precision spring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and component-level applications where consistent load response and corrosion resistance are required. Licensed trades and assembly technicians working with valves, switches, latches, or actuator mechanisms are the typical installers.

This compression spring fits applications requiring a compact, precision-wound stainless steel component in close-tolerance assemblies. Its silver color and plain finish make it appropriate for environments where a non-coated surface is preferred. The closed end design provides a flat seating surface, which improves load distribution in confined spring seats. Typical use cases include fluid control valves, electronic enclosures, HVAC damper actuators, and light mechanical linkages across residential and commercial equipment.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Closed end type for stable seating and even load distribution
• Outside diameter of 0.217 inches for use in tight-clearance spring pockets
• Maximum work load of 6.7 pounds with a spring rate of 2.73 inch-pounds per inch
• Solid height of 0.226 inches and free length of 0.807 inches for predictable deflection range
• Precision spring type ensures consistent performance across production and service applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a closed-end stainless steel spring with a 0.217-inch outside diameter and 0.807-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians, assemblers, or licensed trades servicing equipment with spring-loaded components. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before replacing compression springs in live assemblies. Use appropriate hand tools and spring insertion aids to seat the spring squarely against both contact surfaces. Verify the replacement spring rate and load rating match the original specification before returning equipment to service.
