Gardner Spring 37014GS Extension Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 37014GS is a small-diameter extension spring manufactured from stainless steel and sold in a package of three pieces. It features a 3/32-inch (0.0938 inches) outside diameter, a free length of 1 inch, and a maximum extended length of 2.08 inches. The wire diameter measures 0.012 inches, and the spring rate is 0.71 pounds per inch. Maximum work load is 0.87 pounds, with an initial tension of 0.10 pounds. This spring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant tension element. Installation is typically handled by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, or trade professionals working on small equipment and control linkages.

The 37014GS is used in applications that demand a lightweight, small-profile extension spring with a low spring rate and controlled initial tension. Typical use cases include HVAC control linkages, small appliance mechanisms, instrumentation assemblies, and other light-load tensioning applications. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where moisture resistance or mild corrosion resistance is a priority. The plain finish requires no additional surface treatment prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Extension springs of this size are typically installed by hand or with small needle-nose pliers; avoid overstretching beyond the maximum extended length of 2.08 inches to prevent permanent deformation or failure. Ensure the mounting hooks and anchor points are properly rated for the applied load before installation. Inspect hook ends for secure seating before returning the assembly to service.
