Gardner Spring E36C Extension Spring 0.375 in Od 9.59 Lb

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING E36C is a steel extension spring designed to store and release energy under tensile load. It features a cross-over end style, an outside diameter of 0.375 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.0475 inches. The spring has a free overall length of 1.5 inches and extends to a maximum of 2.07 inches under load. With a spring rate of 12.62 lb/in and a maximum work load of 9.59 pounds, this spring is suited for light-duty mechanical applications requiring consistent return force. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance in typical service environments. Each package contains 3 pieces.

This extension spring is used in a range of mechanical assemblies where a controlled return or tensile force is needed. Common applications include HVAC equipment linkages, damper assemblies, door latches, control mechanisms, and general industrial or commercial equipment. Licensed HVAC technicians, millwrights, and equipment maintenance professionals install springs of this type during equipment repair or assembly. The compact OD and light wire gauge make the E36C suitable for close-quarters mounting points where larger springs cannot fit.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with the host equipment. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing springs. Use appropriate spring hooks or installation tools to seat the cross-over ends securely to their anchor points. Inspect mounting points for wear or deformation before installing a replacement spring.
