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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed end type for stable seating and even load distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutside diameter of 0.217 inches for use in tight-clearance spring pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 6.7 pounds with a spring rate of 2.73 inch-pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.226 inches and free length of 0.807 inches for predictable deflection range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision spring type ensures consistent performance across production and service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.73 inch-pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.217 inches (5.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.807 inches (20.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.226 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0197 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MC040-0205-S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972261413170,"sku":"MC040-0205-S","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/44526e3c54083e7bbd0b246a63544c56.jpg?v=1789965199","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-mc040-0205-s-compression-spring-stainless","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
