Gardner Spring MC103-0240-M Compression Spring 0.555in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC103-0240-M is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.555 inches in outside diameter and 0.945 inches in free length, with a solid height of 0.346 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 53.59 pound-force per inch and supports a maximum work load of 135.33 pounds. Closed and ground ends provide stable, consistent seating across repeated compression cycles. This spring is suited for applications where dimensional accuracy and corrosion resistance are required. Mechanical engineers, maintenance technicians, and field service pros commonly install this type of spring in precision assemblies.

This compression spring is used in light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, commercial, and OEM applications. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact. The 0.063-inch wire diameter and closed ground ends are standard in valve assemblies, actuators, precision tooling, and similar mechanical systems requiring consistent spring force over a defined travel range.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction with plain finish for corrosion resistance
• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and accurate load transfer
• 0.555 inches outside diameter with 0.063-inch wire size for precision fitment
• 135.33-pound maximum work load with a 53.59 pound-force per inch spring rate
• Solid height of 0.346 inches limits over-compression in tight assemblies
• Meets DIN 17223, DIN 17224, and DIN 2095 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.555-inch OD, closed and ground end type, and stainless steel construction conforming to DIN 2095 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or field service personnel during assembly or maintenance of the host mechanism. De-energize and fully relieve any stored mechanical or pneumatic pressure in the assembly before replacing or installing the spring. Verify the bore and shaft clearances match the spring outside diameter and wire size before seating. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
