Gardner Spring 24-31-2250 Extension Spring 0.24in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 24-31-2250 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies where precise tension and compact form factor are required. It measures 0.24 inches outside diameter with a wire diameter of 0.031 inches and a maximum extended length of 0.5 inches. The spring rate is 2.5 pounds per inch, with an initial tension of 0.5 pounds. Weighing 0.3 pounds per package, this spring is suited for applications in HVAC equipment, control linkages, and other mechanical components where consistent return force in a tight space is critical. Technicians and assemblers working on equipment maintenance or repair will find this a direct-fit replacement in appropriate applications.

This extension spring is used in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, including HVAC equipment linkages, damper controls, and similar small-mechanism applications. It is sold in a package quantity of 3, making it practical for service calls or bench stock. The compact outside diameter and short extended length make it well suited for installations where space constraints limit the use of larger springs.

Key Features

• 0.24 inches outside diameter for compact, space-constrained installations
• 0.031 inches wire diameter for consistent tension in light-duty applications
• 2.5 lb/in spring rate provides predictable, repeatable return force
• 0.5 pounds initial tension reduces slack at zero deflection
• Maximum extended length of 0.5 inches suits short-stroke mechanical linkages
• Sold in a package of 3 units, supporting service stock and bench inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement extension spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch OD, 0.031-inch wire diameter, and 0.5-inch maximum extended length with a 2.5 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Installation of extension springs should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with the mechanical assembly being serviced. Disconnect power or shut off the relevant system before accessing spring-loaded components. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when stretching or seating extension springs, as stored tension can cause sudden release. Verify spring rate and dimensions against the original specification before installation to ensure proper function.
