Gardner Spring MC084-0175-M Compression Spring 0.433in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC084-0175-M is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.433 inches in outside diameter and 0.689 inches in free length, with a solid height of 0.217 inches and a wire diameter of 0.0394 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 27.36 pounds and a spring rate of 15.88 inch-pounds per inch, making it well suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where consistent return force and corrosion resistance are required. Licensed technicians and mechanical assembly professionals typically specify this part in instrumentation, valves, latches, and similar precision hardware applications.

This compression spring is intended for use in precision mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and instrumentation applications. Its closed and ground ends provide stable seating and consistent load distribution, which is particularly valuable in high-cycle or tight-tolerance applications. The stainless steel construction offers resistance to corrosion and elevated temperatures, making it appropriate for environments where carbon steel springs would degrade prematurely. Package quantity is 5 units per order.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring suitable for valves, latches, instrumentation mechanisms, and similar assemblies requiring a 0.433-inch OD closed and ground stainless steel spring.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, or plumbing professionals during component-level repair or assembly. Ensure the mating bore or pocket diameter and the load requirements of the assembly match the spring specifications before installation. Inspect the spring seat surfaces for burrs or debris that could cause misalignment or uneven load distribution. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
