It features a 3\/8 inch outside diameter, a free length of 1 inch, and a maximum extended length of 1.43 inches. The spring rate is 17.57 lb\/in with a maximum work load of 8.7 pounds and an initial tension of 1.2 pounds. The plain finish stainless steel construction resists corrosion in exposed or humid environments. Sold in packages of 3, this spring suits technicians and assemblers who need reliable, repeatable tension performance in compact spring applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis extension spring is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical systems where a small-diameter, low-profile return spring is required. Typical applications include HVAC damper linkages, control panel assemblies, door and access panel latches, and other tensioning mechanisms that demand consistent spring force within a short travel range. The 0.045 inch wire diameter and stainless steel material make it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or exposed service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 17.57 lb\/in delivers consistent, predictable tension force across the working range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 8.7 pounds with initial tension of 1.2 pounds for controlled preload\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile: 3\/8 inch OD, 1 inch free length, 1.43 inch maximum extended length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain finish for straightforward installation without coating interference\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 3, minimizing downtime for multi-unit service calls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-profile extension spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3\/8 inch OD, 1 inch free length configuration with a 17.57 lb\/in spring rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtension springs should be installed by qualified technicians familiar with mechanical assembly procedures. Disconnect power and relieve any system tension before removing or installing springs in powered assemblies. Use appropriate spring hooks or installation tools to seat the spring ends fully without overstretching beyond the maximum extended length of 1.43 inches. Overstretching an extension spring beyond its rated maximum load can cause permanent deformation or failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17.57 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Tension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.045 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extended Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.43 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\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 37054GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911243661618,"sku":"37054GS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0e5d5ee845c15304afe498237a697a41_3b1886e4-fa66-40c7-b50a-6bbb460ea4c8.jpg?v=1791207590","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-37054gs-extension-spring-3-8-in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
