Gardner Spring MC040-0445-M Compression Spring 0.217in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC040-0445-M is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features a 0.217 inch outside diameter and a free length of 1.752 inches (44.50 mm), with a solid height of 0.423 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 8.04 pounds and a spring rate of 1.29 inch-pounds per inch, making it well-suited for applications that demand consistent force and dimensional accuracy. Closed ends provide stable seating and even load distribution. This part is handled by mechanical, HVAC, and industrial technicians working on precision assemblies.

This compression spring is used in light-duty precision applications across residential and commercial equipment including control linkages, valve assemblies, and small mechanical subcomponents. Its compact OD and calibrated spring rate suit installations where space is constrained and repeatability matters. Sold in packages of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical, HVAC, and industrial assemblies requiring a 0.217 inch OD closed-end stainless steel spring meeting DIN 2095 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or HVAC technicians. De-energize or depressurize the relevant assembly before removing or replacing springs. Verify that the installed spring seats fully against both bearing surfaces and that the solid height clears the compressed travel limit to prevent coil bind. Follow applicable equipment OEM procedures and applicable mechanical codes for the installation environment.
