Associated Spring Raymond 020030000 Extension Spring

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND 020030000 is a helical extension spring manufactured from spring steel and designed to resist pulling forces along its axis. With a spring rate of 12.2 lb/in, an outside diameter of 1.0000 inch (26.97 mm), and an overall length of 8-1/2 inches, this spring delivers consistent force return in demanding mechanical assemblies. The free length measures 196.34 mm and the maximum extended length reaches 133.44 mm. The 0.1350-inch wire diameter provides the structural strength needed for repetitive cycle applications. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and OEM production personnel typically work with this component in both production and field service settings.

This extension spring is suited for use in industrial equipment, HVAC linkage assemblies, door mechanisms, actuator returns, and other applications where a controlled linear return force is required. Its mid-range spring rate and standard round-wire coil construction make it a common fit for both light commercial and residential mechanical systems. The spring steel construction supports repeated load cycles without significant set loss under normal operating conditions.

Key Features

• Spring rate of 12.2 lb/in for predictable force return across the working range
• Outside diameter of 1.0000 inch (26.97 mm) fits standard spring-seat and hook hardware
• Overall length of 8-1/2 inches with a free length of 196.34 mm
• Maximum extended length of 133.44 mm limits overextension in constrained assemblies
• 0.1350-inch wire diameter provides durability for repetitive cycle loads
• Spring steel construction resists deformation under sustained tensile loading

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation extension spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1.0000-inch OD helical extension spring with a 12.2 lb/in rate.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Always relieve tension from adjacent components before removing or installing the spring to prevent injury from sudden release. Use appropriate hook or loop attachment hardware rated for the expected load. Inspect mounting points for wear or deformation before installing a replacement spring.
