Gardner Spring GE0180-0180620S Extension Spring 0.18in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0180-0180620S is a small-diameter extension spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter and 1.25 inches in overall free length, with a wire diameter of 0.018 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 1.9118 lb/in and carries a maximum work load of 1.370 pounds, with an initial tension of 0.1217 pounds. This package contains 3 pieces. Extension springs of this size are used by HVAC technicians, appliance service pros, and mechanical assemblers wherever a small, corrosion-resistant return or tension element is required in a light-duty mechanical assembly.

This spring suits applications in residential and light commercial equipment where a compact, stainless steel extension spring is needed. Typical uses include control linkages, damper return mechanisms, door panels, and similar assemblies that require a reliable tension element in a tight space. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure. Three springs are included per package, supporting both single-unit repairs and small batch service calls.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with the equipment being serviced. De-energize or shut down the equipment completely before replacing any spring component. Use appropriate spring-handling tools to avoid overstretching the spring beyond its maximum extended length of 1.25 inches, which can permanently deform the coils. Inspect the hook ends and mating attachment points for wear or deformation before installing a replacement spring.
