Gardner Spring GE0180-0221000S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0180-0221000S is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies. It features a 0.18-inch outside diameter, a 0.022-inch wire diameter, and a maximum extended length of 1.86 inches. The spring rate is 2.4332 pounds per inch, with an initial tension of 0.1738 pounds. This part is used in precision mechanical linkages, controls, and assemblies where consistent return force and compact dimensions are required. Installation and replacement are typically performed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, or OEM equipment assemblers working on light mechanical components.

This extension spring is suited for residential and light commercial equipment applications where a small, consistent return-force spring is needed. It fits into control linkage assemblies, panel latches, or actuator return mechanisms that require a low-profile spring with reliable tension characteristics. The package contains 3 pieces, making it practical for service kits or small bench stock replenishment.

Key Features

• 0.18-inch outside diameter for compact, space-limited installations
• 0.022-inch wire diameter providing balanced flexibility and tensile strength
• Spring rate of 2.4332 lb/in for predictable, consistent return force
• Maximum extended length of 1.86 inches suits short-travel linkage applications
• Initial tension of 0.1738 pounds allows controlled pre-load in assembled mechanisms
• Sold in a package of 3 pieces for convenient stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement extension spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18-inch OD, 0.022-inch wire diameter, and approximately 1.86-inch maximum extended length.

Installation Notes

Power down or de-energize any equipment before removing or installing springs in control linkages or actuator assemblies. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when working with small-diameter extension springs, as stored tension can cause the spring to release unexpectedly. Verify spring rate and extended length match the original component specification before installation to ensure proper mechanism function.
