Gardner Spring E25C Extension Spring 0.312 in Od 4.65 Lb

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING E25C is a steel extension spring designed to store and release tension energy in mechanical assemblies, tools, and equipment. It features a cross-over end style, an outside diameter of 0.312 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.0348 inches. The spring has a free length of 2.0 inches and extends to a maximum of 3.49 inches under load. A spring rate of 2.46 lb/in and a maximum work load of 4.65 pounds make it suitable for light-duty tensioning and return-force applications. The zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and light industrial environments. This spring is sold in a package quantity of six.

The E25C is used in a wide range of mechanical and trade applications where a compact extension spring with defined load characteristics is required. Typical installations include HVAC equipment linkages, damper actuators, door hardware, and general light-duty mechanical assemblies. Its cross-over hook ends allow straightforward attachment to pins or eyelets in standard mounting configurations. Installers working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service will find this spring useful as a replacement or supplemental component in tension-based mechanisms.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring an extension spring with a 0.312-inch outside diameter, cross-over end style, and a maximum extended length of 3.49 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the host equipment. Relieve all tension from the mechanism and de-energize or lock out any powered components before removing or installing the spring. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when handling compressed or tensioned spring components, as stored energy can cause injury if released suddenly. Do not exceed the rated maximum work load of 4.65 pounds to avoid permanent deformation or spring failure.
