Gardner Spring 37081GS Extension Spring 0.625 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 37081GS is a stainless steel extension spring designed to store and release tension energy in mechanical assemblies across a range of industrial and trade applications. It features an outside diameter of 0.625 inches, a free length of 2 inches, and a maximum extended length of 3.18 inches. The spring rate is 12.26 lb/in with a maximum work load of 16.52 pounds and an initial tension of 2 pounds. The plain finish stainless steel construction resists corrosion in environments where moisture or mild chemicals are present. Each package contains 3 pieces. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and equipment service professionals typically install springs of this type.

This extension spring fits applications that require a compact, moderate-load tension element. With a 0.069-inch wire diameter and 0.625-inch outside diameter, it suits door assemblies, actuator linkages, panel latches, and equipment enclosures where a small-footprint spring with defined load characteristics is required. It is sold in a pack of 3, making it practical for service calls where a spare is needed on hand. Both residential and light commercial equipment installations are common use cases for springs in this size range.

Installation Notes

De-energize or fully relieve tension from the assembly before removing or installing extension springs.

Verify hook orientation and inside hook engagement before returning the assembly to service. Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the equipment being serviced.
