Gardner Spring GE0180-018-1370 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0180-018-1370 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-load mechanical applications where precise tension control is required. It features a 0.18-inch outside diameter, a 0.018-inch wire diameter, and a spring rate of 0.6 pounds per inch. The maximum extended length is 3.65 inches, with a free length of approximately 1.37 inches (34.80 mm). The plain uncoated finish is standard for general indoor mechanical assemblies. This spring is sold in packages of 3 pieces and is suited for technicians, engineers, and skilled tradespeople working on equipment requiring small-format tension springs.

This extension spring fits light-duty mechanical assemblies where a compact, low-force tension element is needed. Typical applications include HVAC damper linkages, control panel mechanisms, small appliance hardware, and general equipment assemblies requiring controlled return force. The initial tension of 0.14 pounds keeps the spring closed before additional load is applied. Its small profile makes it appropriate for confined mounting spaces in both residential and commercial equipment.

Key Features

• 0.018-inch wire diameter providing a 0.6 lb/in spring rate
• Maximum extended length of 3.65 inches
• Initial tension of 0.14 pounds to maintain closed position under no load
• Plain uncoated finish suitable for general indoor mechanical use
• Sold in a pack of 3 pieces per package

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-format extension spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18-inch OD, 0.018-inch wire diameter, and 0.6 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or HVAC technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before servicing any spring components. Use appropriate hooks or attachment hardware rated for the spring load to avoid premature failure at the end loops. Do not stretch the spring beyond its maximum extended length of 3.65 inches, as permanent deformation or failure may result.
