It is designed to store and release tensile energy when stretched, returning to its free length once load is removed. With an outside diameter of 0.25 inches, a wire diameter of 0.031 inches, and a free length of 2.5 inches, this spring is suited for compact mechanism applications. The spring rate is 1.74 pounds per inch, the initial tension is 0.70 pounds, and the maximum work load is 4.52 pounds at a maximum extended length of 4.7 inches. Mechanical technicians, HVAC service techs, and equipment repair professionals commonly install this type of spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis extension spring is appropriate for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies where a small, corrosion-resistant tensile spring is required. Typical applications include HVAC damper linkages, control panel latches, appliance mechanisms, and general-purpose industrial equipment. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments with moderate moisture exposure. This part is sold in a package quantity of three, making it practical for service kits or bench stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction with plain finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 1.74 pounds per inch for predictable load-deflection behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 4.52 pounds with a maximum extended length of 4.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial tension of 0.70 pounds holds the spring closed under zero applied load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 0.25 inch outside diameter fits tight clearance assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 3 pieces for service stock convenience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement extension spring for light-duty mechanical and HVAC equipment applications requiring a 0.25 inch OD, 2.5 inch free length stainless steel spring with a 1.74 pounds per inch spring rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with mechanical spring assemblies. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing springs to prevent injury from unexpected mechanism movement. Use appropriate pliers or spring hooks to seat the end loops without overstretching the spring beyond its maximum extended length of 4.7 inches. Overstretching a spring past its rated maximum load will permanently deform the coils and compromise performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.52 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.74 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Tension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.70 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extended Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.031 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37041GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972037443890,"sku":"37041GS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7a24fa80eec4a11998077f22d05e7896.jpg?v=1789961575","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-37041gs-extension-spring-0-25in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
