Gardner Spring E0C-SS Extension Spring 0.187in Od Stainless

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING E0C-SS is a small-diameter extension spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish and cross-over end style. It is designed to store and release tensile energy in mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and light industrial equipment. With an outside diameter of 0.187 inches, a wire diameter of 0.023 inches, and a maximum extended length of 1.74 inches, this spring fits compact spaces where corrosion resistance matters. A spring rate of 2.8 lb/in and a maximum work load of 2.57 lb make it suitable for light-duty applications where consistent return force and dimensional precision are required.

This spring is commonly used in HVAC damper linkages, plumbing valve assemblies, electrical panel components, and general mechanical equipment requiring a reliable tension element. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or where contact with mild chemicals is possible. The cross-over end style simplifies hook engagement in standard mounting configurations. Each package contains six springs, making it practical to stock for service calls where small springs are frequently needed as replacement components.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed and removed by qualified mechanical or trade technicians using appropriate hand tools. Relieve all tension from the assembly before removing or installing the spring to prevent sudden release and injury. Do not exceed the rated maximum work load of 2.57 lb during installation or operation. Verify end hook engagement is fully seated in both anchor points before returning the assembly to service.
