Gardner Spring 24-31-1370 Extension Spring 0.24 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 24-31-1370 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning and return applications across mechanical assemblies, HVAC controls, and similar equipment. It features a 0.24-inch outside diameter, 0.031-inch wire diameter, and a spring rate of 4.8 pounds per inch, making it well-suited for compact mechanisms that require consistent pull force. The initial tension is 0.5 pounds, and the maximum extended length is 0.5 inches. Licensed technicians and mechanical tradespeople working on control linkages, damper actuators, and small device assemblies will find this spring a reliable OEM-style replacement or serviceable component.

This extension spring fits into compact mechanical assemblies where precise tensioning is required. Typical applications include HVAC control linkages, damper return mechanisms, relay assemblies, and light-duty industrial equipment requiring a small, reliable tension element. Its small wire diameter and tight outside diameter suit close-tolerance installations where larger springs would not physically fit. Sold in a package of 3, this spring is appropriate for service calls where spares are practical to keep on hand.

Key Features

• 0.24-inch outside diameter suits compact, close-tolerance assemblies
• Spring rate of 4.8 pounds per inch provides consistent, predictable tensioning
• 0.031-inch wire diameter designed for light-duty pull-force applications
• Initial tension of 0.5 pounds reduces slack and maintains preload at rest
• Maximum extended length of 0.5 inches limits overextension in confined spaces
• Sold in a package quantity of 3, supporting stocking for repeat service needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for mechanical assemblies, HVAC control linkages, and light-duty industrial equipment requiring a small extension spring with a 0.24-inch OD and 0.031-inch wire diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, mechanical tradespeople, or qualified service personnel. Before replacing any spring in a control linkage or actuator assembly, de-energize the equipment and relieve any stored mechanical tension in the assembly. Use appropriate spring-hook tools to seat the spring ends without overextending the coils beyond the rated maximum extended length. Verify spring rate and initial tension match the original specification before returning the equipment to service.
