Gardner Spring MC103-0535-S Compression Spring 0.555in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING MC103-0535-S is a precision compression spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It features an outside diameter of 0.555 inches, a free length of 2.106 inches, and a solid height of 0.661 inches. The spring delivers a maximum work load of 112.73 pounds and a spring rate of 20.44 inch-pounds per inch, making it well-suited for applications that demand consistent, repeatable force under compression. Closed and ground ends provide stable seating and uniform load distribution. This part is installed by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and field service professionals working across industrial and mechanical equipment platforms.

This compression spring is appropriate for use in precision mechanical assemblies where controlled spring force and dimensional accuracy are critical. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making it suitable for environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. Typical install scenarios include valve assemblies, actuator mechanisms, instrument enclosures, and equipment requiring a compact, reliable return or clamping force within a constrained envelope. The spring is available in a package quantity of three units per package.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Closed and ground ends for stable, flat seating and consistent load transfer
• Maximum work load of 112.73 pounds supports high-force precision applications
• Spring rate of 20.44 inch-pounds per inch for predictable, linear deflection
• Outside diameter of 0.555 inches fits standard bore and housing dimensions common in precision assemblies
• Precision spring type ensures tight dimensional and load tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.555-inch OD, 2.106-inch free length, closed-and-ground-end spring in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Compression springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. De-energize and relieve all system pressure before disassembling any spring-loaded mechanism. Verify the free length, solid height, and outside diameter against the application housing to confirm proper fit before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
