Gardner Spring GE0180-0222000S Extension Spring 0.18in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0180-0222000S is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning and return applications across mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.18 inches outside diameter with a wire diameter of 0.022 inches and extends to a maximum length of 4.07 inches. The spring rate is 1.0428 pounds per inch, with an initial tension of 0.1738 pounds, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent, low-force pull-back resistance. This part ships in a package quantity of three. Licensed technicians and mechanical service professionals working on HVAC components, appliance mechanisms, or light industrial equipment commonly source this spring for precision replacement work.

This extension spring fits typical small-scale tensioning assemblies found in residential and light commercial equipment. Common install scenarios include internal mechanisms in HVAC damper linkages, appliance door latches, and other assemblies requiring a compact, low-force extension element. The inside hook length of 2 inches provides adequate reach for standard hook-mount configurations. The 0.022-inch wire diameter keeps the overall profile compact while maintaining the specified spring rate across the full extension range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the host assembly. De-energize or shut down any powered equipment before accessing internal spring mechanisms. Use appropriate small-part pliers or spring hooks to seat the hooks without overstretching the spring beyond its rated maximum extended length. Refer to the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for mounting orientation and hook attachment points.
