Gardner Spring MC040-0940-M Compression Spring 0.217in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC040-0940-M is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.217 inches in outside diameter and 0.370 inches in free length, with a solid height of 0.128 inches. The spring features closed ends and delivers a maximum work load of 8.04 pounds with a spring rate of 6.00 inch-pounds. At 0.01 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight component suited for applications where consistent force and dimensional accuracy are critical. It is typically installed by mechanical technicians, engineers, or maintenance professionals working on precision assemblies.

This compression spring is intended for use in precision mechanical assemblies where tight tolerances and reliable load performance are required. Its compact outside diameter and short free length make it well suited for small-scale mechanisms, instrumentation, valve assemblies, and similar light-duty applications across industrial, HVAC, and related trade environments. The package quantity is 5 units with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring suitable for small mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and valve or actuator applications requiring a 0.217-inch OD closed-end compression spring.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical technicians or engineers familiar with precision spring assemblies. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing components that incorporate this spring. Avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its solid height of 0.128 inches to prevent set and premature failure. Handle stainless steel springs with clean, dry tools to avoid contamination that could affect performance in sensitive assemblies.
