Gardner Spring SS-4M Utility Compression Spring 1in Od Stainless

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING SS-4M is a utility compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and suited for general-purpose mechanical applications requiring consistent load-bearing performance. The spring measures 1.0000 inch outside diameter with a 2.5 inch free length and a wire diameter of 0.1201 inches. It delivers a maximum work load of 28.05 pounds and a spring rate of 48.60 pounds per inch, making it a reliable choice for light- to medium-duty compression applications. The closed end type provides stable seating and even load distribution across the coil stack. Finished plain in silver, this spring is ready for direct installation without surface prep.

This compression spring is suited for use in industrial machinery, HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical systems where a compact, corrosion-resistant compression element is needed. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild chemicals. Sold in packages of six, it is practical for service technicians who stock common hardware for field repairs and equipment maintenance.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by the mechanic or technician servicing the host equipment. Ensure the mating spring seat surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the spring. Power down or depressurize the system as required by the equipment manufacturer before disassembly. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 1.32 inches during installation or operation.
