Gardner Spring MC060-0162-S Compression Spring Stainless

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC060-0162-S is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features a 0.433-inch outside diameter and a free length of 0.638 inches, making it a compact, high-load component suited for demanding mechanical assemblies. The spring delivers a rate of 550.77 inch-pounds per inch and supports a maximum work load of 281.01 pounds. With closed and ground ends, it seats flat against mating surfaces for consistent, repeatable performance. Maintenance technicians, mechanical engineers, and precision assembly technicians are the primary installers of this type of component.

This spring is intended for use in precision mechanical assemblies where controlled compression force and consistent spring rate are required. Its compact dimensions and stainless steel construction make it suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is a factor, including fluid-handling equipment, instrumentation, valves, and industrial machinery. The closed and ground end configuration ensures stable seating in both open and guided spring applications.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for demanding environments

• 0.433-inch outside diameter and 0.638-inch free length for compact fitment
• Maximum work load of 281.01 pounds for high-load precision applications
• Spring rate of 550.77 inch-pounds per inch for predictable deflection behavior
• Meets DIN 17223, DIN 17224, and DIN 2095 standards for precision spring manufacturing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.433-inch outside diameter closed and ground end spring in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation of precision compression springs should be performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Always relieve system pressure and de-energize any associated equipment before removing or installing springs. Ensure the spring bore or guide diameter is compatible with the outside diameter of the spring to prevent buckling under load. Inspect mating seats and guides for wear or damage before installation.
