Gardner Spring MC075-0180-M Compression Spring 0.472in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC075-0180-M is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel for reliable, consistent performance in demanding mechanical applications. It features a 0.472-inch outside diameter and a 0.709-inch free length, with a maximum work load rating of 317.74 pounds and a spring rate of 255.54 inch-pounds. The closed and ground end type provides a stable seating surface and accurate load transfer. This spring is suited for use in equipment assemblies, valve mechanisms, and precision instrument applications where tight dimensional tolerances are required.

This precision compression spring is designed for use in light industrial, commercial, and OEM equipment assemblies. Typical applications include valve actuation, switch mechanisms, instrumented tooling, and other assemblies where a compact, high-load spring is needed. The 0.079-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction make it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a factor. Minimum order quantity is 1, with a package quantity of 5.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for consistent load transfer and flat seating
• 317.74-pound maximum work load in a compact 0.709-inch free length form factor
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Spring rate of 255.54 inch-pounds supports precise, repeatable deflection control
• Manufactured to DIN 17223, DIN 17224, and DIN 2095 standards for verified dimensional accuracy
• Solid height of 0.433 inches allows tight installation clearances

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring suitable for use in mechanical assemblies, valve systems, and instrumented equipment requiring a 0.472-inch outside diameter spring with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or OEM assembly personnel. Ensure the spring seat and bore dimensions are verified against the 0.472-inch outside diameter and 0.433-inch solid height before installation. De-energize or fully depressurize any system before replacing compression springs in valve or actuator assemblies. Avoid overcompressing the spring beyond its solid height, as this will cause permanent set and loss of rated load performance.
