Gardner Spring MC050-0115-S Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC050-0115-S is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.273 inches in outside diameter and 0.453 inches in free length, making it suited for compact mechanical assemblies where space is limited. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 10.37 pounds and a spring rate of 7.54 pound-inches, providing consistent, repeatable force characteristics. Closed ends improve load distribution and seating stability. Mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and precision equipment specialists typically source this part as a direct replacement or new-design component in tight-tolerance applications.

This compression spring is used in a wide range of light-duty mechanical applications including valve assemblies, instrumentation, small actuators, and precision equipment. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a factor. The small form factor fits many compact spring pockets and retainer housings. It is sold in a package quantity of three units, which suits both single-repair jobs and small-batch service or assembly work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel material provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Precision spring type ensures consistent dimensional and force tolerances
• Compact 0.273-inch OD fits small spring pockets and retainer bores
• 10.37-pound maximum work load supports light-duty mechanical applications
• Package quantity of three units accommodates single repairs or small-batch assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-design component for compact precision compression spring applications requiring a 0.273-inch outside diameter and closed end configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers or technicians servicing the equipment in which this spring is used. Always de-energize or depressurize the assembly before removing or replacing internal spring components. Verify spring pocket depth and bore diameter against the solid height of 0.161 inches and outside diameter of 0.273 inches before installation to ensure proper fit and travel. Do not exceed the rated maximum work load during operation.
