Gardner Spring MC084-0260-M Compression Spring 0.433 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC084-0260-M is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.433 inches in outside diameter and 1.024 inches in free length, with a solid height of 0.295 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 27.36 pounds and a spring rate of 9.67 pound-inches. Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating surfaces for consistent load transfer. This spring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where precise deflection and repeatable force are required. Licensed mechanical and industrial trades install this type of component in equipment, fixtures, and precision machinery.

This compression spring is used in applications requiring a compact, small-diameter spring with controlled deflection characteristics. The closed and ground end configuration makes it well suited for assemblies where the spring must seat flat against a surface or within a close-tolerance bore. Typical install scenarios include instrument components, valves, actuators, and general mechanical assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment. It conforms to DIN 17223, DIN 17224, and DIN 2095 standards, making it appropriate for applications specifying European spring manufacturing tolerances.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical technicians or tradespeople working on equipment assemblies. De-energize and depressurize the assembly before removing or installing spring components. Confirm bore diameter and seating surface condition before installation to ensure proper spring alignment and load transfer. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during assembly.
