Gardner Spring GE0180-029-0880 Extension Spring Pack of 3

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0180-029-0880 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring consistent return force over a short travel range. Built with a 0.18-inch outside diameter and a 0.029-inch wire diameter, this spring delivers a spring rate of 14.7 lb/in with an initial tension of 0.52 lb. The overall free length is approximately 0.88 inches (22.35 mm), and the maximum extended length is 1.24 inches. Supplied in a plain, uncoated finish, it suits precision mechanical, HVAC actuator linkage, and control-hardware applications where compact geometry and predictable load characteristics are required. Each package contains 3 springs.

This extension spring is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical systems, including HVAC damper actuators, control panel hardware, and general equipment linkage where a small-profile, low-load spring is needed. It is appropriate for use wherever a compact extension spring with a defined spring rate must resist overextension within a 1.24-inch travel envelope. Technicians working on control assemblies, actuator mechanisms, or precision equipment housings will find this spring a direct-fit option for applications calling out this geometry.

Key Features

• 0.18-inch outside diameter suits compact mechanical and actuator linkage assemblies
• Spring rate of 14.7 lb/in provides consistent, predictable return force
• 0.029-inch wire diameter with plain uncoated finish for general-purpose use
• Initial tension of 0.52 lb keeps the spring closed under no-load conditions
• Maximum extended length of 1.24 inches limits travel without permanent set under normal use
• Sold in a pack of 3, reducing the need for individual replacement sourcing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement extension spring for compact mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.18-inch OD, 0.029-inch wire diameter, and 14.7 lb/in spring rate within a 1.24-inch extended length envelope.

Installation Notes

Extension springs store energy under tension and should be installed and removed with appropriate hand tools to avoid sudden release. Relieve all mechanical load and de-energize any actuator or control assembly before replacing springs. Verify the replacement spring geometry matches the original specification, including OD, wire diameter, free length, and spring rate, before reinstalling. Consult equipment service documentation for mounting hook orientation and attachment torque requirements specific to the host assembly.
