Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING E44C is a zinc-plated steel extension spring designed to store and release tension energy in mechanical assemblies. It features a cross-over end style, a 0.437 inch outside diameter, and a 0.0475 inch wire diameter. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 3.08 lb/in and supports a maximum work load of 8.03 pounds. At maximum extension, the working length reaches 4.82 inches, while the free overall length is 2.75 inches. This spring is suited for light-duty mechanical applications and is installed by maintenance technicians, equipment service professionals, and mechanical trades workers.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed and removed by qualified mechanical or HVAC service technicians. Disconnect or de-energize the host equipment before servicing any spring-loaded components to prevent injury from stored tension energy. Use appropriate spring installation tools to seat the cross-over ends fully into anchor points. Inspect anchor hardware for wear or deformation before installing a replacement spring.
