Gardner Spring E41C-SS Extension Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING E41C-SS is a stainless steel extension spring designed for applications requiring reliable tensile force across a range of mechanical and industrial systems. With an outside diameter of 0.375 inches and a wire diameter of 0.0475 inches, this spring delivers a maximum work load of 10.03 pounds and a spring rate of 4.31 pounds per inch. The overall free length is 2.75 inches, extending to a maximum of 4.52 inches under load. The cross-over end style provides secure loop engagement in standard mounting configurations. Licensed mechanics, maintenance technicians, and OEM assembly professionals are the typical installers of this part.

This extension spring is suited for light-duty tensile applications in mechanical assemblies, HVAC linkage systems, and industrial equipment where a compact, corrosion-resistant spring is required. The stainless steel construction and plain finish make it appropriate for environments with moderate exposure to moisture or chemicals. Each package contains 3 pieces, making it practical for small repairs or low-volume production runs where a spare is needed on hand.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Cross-over end style for reliable loop-to-pin or loop-to-hook mounting

• Maximum extended length of 4.52 inches with a free length of 2.75 inches
• Wire diameter of 0.0475 inches and OD of 0.375 inches for compact fitment
• Packaged in quantities of 3 to support service and light production use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extension spring suitable for mechanical linkage assemblies, control arm returns, and tensioning applications requiring a 0.375-inch OD stainless steel spring with cross-over ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel using standard hand tools. Relieve all stored mechanical energy in the assembly before removing or installing extension springs to prevent snap-back injury. Ensure the cross-over loops seat fully on mounting pins or hooks before returning the assembly to service. Verify the mounting hardware diameter is compatible with the spring end loop clearance prior to installation.
