Gardner Spring 609180105ML Torsion Spring 180 Deg Left Hand

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 609180105ML is a left-hand wound torsion spring engineered for controlled rotational force applications in mechanical assemblies. With an outside coil diameter of 0.982 inches and a wire diameter of 0.106 inches, this spring delivers 22.5 inch-pounds of torque at full leg length. The 180-degree deflection angle allows for a half-turn of angular travel, making it well suited to latch mechanisms, hinges, and actuated assemblies that require a defined return or positioning force. Fabricated from steel, it is built for durability in industrial and mechanical service environments. Qualified engineers, machine builders, and maintenance technicians typically source and install this component.

This torsion spring is applicable in a range of light-to-medium mechanical assemblies where a left-hand wind orientation is required. The 0.609-inch maximum tool size and 3.5-inch leg length suit it for installations where tooling clearance is limited. Common use cases include door and panel latches, control linkages, and equipment requiring angular return force. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both OEM production builds and maintenance replacement applications.

Key Features

• Left-hand direction of wind for correct installation in left-hand oriented assemblies
• 180-degree deflection angle provides a full half-turn of angular travel
• 22.5 inch-pounds of torque delivered at leg length
• 0.982-inch outside coil diameter with 0.106-inch wire diameter for consistent spring rate
• 7 coils for balanced load distribution along the spring body
• Steel construction for mechanical strength and long service life

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit torsion spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a left-hand wound spring with a 0.982-inch outside diameter, 0.106-inch wire diameter, and 180-degree deflection angle. Verify rod size compatibility with a maximum tool size of 0.609 inches before installation.

Installation Notes

Torsion springs should be installed by qualified mechanical technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Always relieve any pre-existing load or tension in the assembly before removing the old spring. Confirm the direction of wind matches the application requirement before installation, as installing a right-hand spring in a left-hand position will result in incorrect function. Use appropriately sized tooling not exceeding the 0.609-inch maximum tool size to avoid coil damage during installation.
