Gardner Spring MC050-0480-M Compression Spring 0.28in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC050-0480-M is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.28 inches (7.10 mm) outside diameter and 1.89 inches (48.00 mm) free length, with a solid height of 0.677 inches (17.20 mm). The spring features closed ends and is rated to a maximum work load of 24.03 pounds with a spring rate of 4.21 inch-pounds per inch. This part is suited for mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, and precision apparatus where consistent load response and corrosion resistance are required. Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals working with precision hardware.

This compression spring is used in applications demanding tight dimensional tolerances and repeatable spring force. Closed-end construction provides flat seating surfaces, making it appropriate for guided assemblies, valve mechanisms, tooling fixtures, and general-purpose mechanical systems. It conforms to DIN 17223, DIN 17224, and DIN 2095 standards, indicating suitability for applications requiring verified material and dimensional compliance.

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies, valve bodies, tooling fixtures, and industrial equipment requiring a 0.28-inch OD closed-end compression spring.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals. Ensure the mating bore or guide rod diameter is within tolerance before seating the spring. De-energize and lock out all equipment before accessing spring-loaded assemblies to prevent unexpected release. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
