Gardner Spring GE0180-022-0750 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0180-022-0750 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-load tensioning applications across mechanical, HVAC, and equipment-assembly contexts. It has an outside diameter of 0.18 inches, a free length of 0.75 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.022 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 4.4 lb/in with an initial tension of 0.2 lb, making it well suited for applications requiring consistent, low-force return action. The plain finish leaves the spring uncoated, which is appropriate for dry indoor or enclosed mechanical environments. Sold in packages of 3.

This extension spring fits light mechanical assemblies, control linkages, door latches, damper actuators, and similar small-component tensioning applications found in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, appliance mechanisms, and general industrial assemblies. Its compact geometry suits confined spaces where a standard small-frame spring must maintain consistent tension without bulk. Technicians working on control panel assemblies, access door latches, or actuator return mechanisms will encounter this spring type regularly.

Key Features

• 0.18 inch outside diameter fits tight clearance mounting locations
• 4.4 lb/in spring rate provides consistent, predictable tensioning force
• 0.022 inch wire diameter for light-duty, low-force applications
• Plain finish - no coating to crack, flake, or add dimensional variability
• Initial tension of 0.2 lb holds spring coils closed before load is applied
• Packaged in quantities of 3, useful for service kits and bench stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service stock spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring an extension spring with 0.18 inch OD, 0.75 inch free length, and 0.022 inch wire diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified technician or mechanic during equipment service or assembly. Disconnect power or de-energize the equipment before replacing any internal spring components. Use appropriate small-part tools such as needle-nose pliers or spring hooks to seat the end loops without overstretching the spring beyond its maximum extended length. Do not exceed the maximum extended length of 1.31 inches, as overstretching will permanently deform the spring and reduce tension consistency.
