Gardner Spring E10C Extension Spring 0.25 in Od 3.35 Lb

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING E10C is a small-diameter extension spring manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. It measures 0.25 inches outside diameter with an overall length of 1.75 inches and extends to a maximum of 3.08 inches under load. The wire diameter is 0.0286 inches, and the spring delivers a rate of 2.01 lb/in with a maximum work load of 3.35 lb. The cross-over end style allows for straightforward hook engagement in close-clearance assemblies. This spring is installed by mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals working on light-duty equipment requiring controlled tension return.

The E10C is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, low-load extension spring is needed. Typical installation scenarios include control linkages, latching mechanisms, door assemblies, and small equipment requiring consistent return force. Its zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments. The spring ships in packages of 12, making it practical for service shops and maintenance crews that replace springs in volume.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel. Before servicing any assembly, de-energize and lock out the equipment per applicable safety procedures. Use appropriate spring hooks or pliers rated for the spring load to avoid overstretching beyond the 3.08 inch maximum extended length, which can cause permanent deformation. Do not exceed the rated maximum work load during installation or operation.
