Gardner Spring MC060-0365-S Compression Spring Stainless

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC060-0365-S is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features an outside diameter of 0.433 inches (11.00 mm), a free length of 1.437 inches (36.50 mm), and a solid height of 0.996 inches (25.30 mm). The spring delivers a maximum work load of 281.01 pounds and a spring rate of 30.72 lb/in, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force under compression. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and uniform load distribution. This part is typically installed by mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals working on precision equipment assemblies.

This compression spring is intended for use in light-to-medium duty mechanical applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant spring with precise dimensional tolerances is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild chemicals. It fits into assemblies requiring a 0.433-inch OD spring with a wire diameter of 0.0866 inches. The silver finish and precision spring type classification indicate close manufacturing tolerances suited to instrumentation, valves, latching mechanisms, and similar close-tolerance assemblies.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and consistent load transfer
• Maximum work load of 281.01 pounds for reliable force output under compression
• Spring rate of 30.72 lb/in for predictable deflection characteristics
• Precision spring type with tight dimensional tolerances for close-clearance assemblies
• Compact profile: 0.433 inches OD and 1.437 inches free length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.433-inch outside diameter, 1.437-inch free length, and 0.0866-inch wire diameter with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel. Relieve all system pressure and de-energize any related mechanical or electrical components before removing or installing compression springs. Verify that the mating bore or spring pocket diameter and pocket depth are compatible with the spring OD and free length before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.996 inches during assembly or operation.
