Gardner Spring GE0180-0220750S Extension Spring 0.18in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0180-0220750S is a small-diameter extension spring manufactured from stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.18 inches in outside diameter and uses 0.022 inches wire diameter construction. Free length is 0.75 inches, and the maximum extended length reaches 1.31 inches. The spring rate is 3.8236 pounds per inch, with an initial tension of 0.1738 pounds. This type of spring is used across light mechanical assemblies, HVAC linkages, and general industrial applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant tension element is required. Sold in a package of 3 pieces.

This extension spring suits applications requiring a small-envelope, low-load tension component. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority, including refrigeration and HVAC equipment interiors, light sheet-metal assemblies, and general mechanical controls. The compact outside diameter and short free length allow installation in tight clearances common to residential and light-commercial equipment panels and linkage systems.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose small extension spring suitable for light mechanical assemblies and equipment linkages where a 0.18 inches OD, 0.75 inches free-length tension spring is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, mechanical assemblers, or maintenance professionals. Always de-energize or power down the equipment before servicing internal spring components. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when stretching or seating extension springs, as stored energy can cause the spring to release unexpectedly. Verify the replacement spring rate and dimensions match the original specification before installation.
