Gardner Spring 37027GS Extension Spring 3/16 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 37027GS is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring precise load and rate control. It features a 3/16-inch (0.1870 inches decimal) outside diameter, a 0.022-inch wire diameter, and a maximum work load of 2.17 pounds. The spring rate is 2.17 pounds per inch, making load behavior predictable across its travel range. The free length is 1 inch and the maximum extended length is 1.86 inches. This part ships in a pack of 3 and is handled by maintenance technicians, mechanical contractors, and equipment service professionals working on light mechanical assemblies.

This extension spring is suited for residential and commercial equipment where compact, low-load tension springs are required. Typical applications include HVAC damper linkages, control panel mechanisms, small actuator assemblies, and similar light mechanical service environments. The compact OD and controlled spring rate make it appropriate for confined mounting spaces where consistent return force is needed. Sold in a quantity of 3 per package.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or HVAC service technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. De-energize or lock out any equipment before removing or installing tension springs to prevent uncontrolled release of stored energy. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when working with small-diameter springs. Verify the free length and spring rate match the original part specification before installation.
