Gardner Spring MC050-0155-S Compression Spring 0.28in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC050-0155-S is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features a 0.28-inch outside diameter and a free length of 0.61 inches, with a solid height of 0.268 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 20.01 pounds and a spring rate of 13.25 inch-pounds per inch, making it suited for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force in a compact form. Closed ends provide stable seating and even load distribution. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical technicians commonly specify this type of spring in precision assemblies, valve mechanisms, and control components.

This spring is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a small-diameter, stainless steel compression spring is required. Its corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction makes it suitable for wet, humid, or chemically exposed environments typical of plumbing, HVAC controls, and pool equipment. The compact geometry fits tight clearance installations in valve bodies, actuators, and similar components. It is sold in a package quantity of three units.

Key Features

• Meets DIN 17223, DIN 17224, and DIN 2095 standards
• Wire diameter of 0.0315 inches for consistent deflection characteristics

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.28-inch OD closed-end stainless steel spring with a 0.61-inch free length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed mechanical, plumbing, or HVAC technicians during valve or actuator service. Always depressurize and de-energize the assembly before disassembling any component housing this spring. Verify the replacement spring seats flush against both contact surfaces before reassembling the housing. Inspect the spring cavity for debris or corrosion before installing the new spring.
