Gardner Spring MC082-0935-S Compression Spring Stainless

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC082-0935-S is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features an outside diameter of 0.443 inches and a free length of 3.681 inches, making it suited for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force across a moderate travel range. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 71.15 pounds and a spring rate of 1.12 pounds per inch. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and accurate load transfer. Licensed technicians and mechanical assemblers working in HVAC equipment, plumbing hardware, and industrial assemblies commonly specify this type of precision spring for actuator, valve, and damper applications.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies found in residential and commercial HVAC systems, fluid control valves, and plumbing components. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a factor. The closed and ground end configuration suits applications where the spring must seat squarely in a bore or against a flat surface. Package quantity is 3 pieces per unit with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Closed and ground ends for stable, square seating in bores or against flat surfaces
• Maximum work load of 71.15 pounds supports moderate-force actuation requirements
• Spring rate of 1.12 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear force response
• Precision spring type ensures dimensional consistency across production lots
• Plain finish with silver color for easy visual identification in assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.443-inch outside diameter and 3.681-inch free length with closed and ground ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical assemblers depending on the host assembly. De-energize or shut off the equipment fully before disassembling any spring-loaded component to prevent uncontrolled release of stored energy. Verify the bore or spring pocket dimensions match the outside diameter and solid height of this spring before installation. Inspect mating surfaces for burrs or damage that could cause uneven loading or premature fatigue.
