Gardner Spring GE0240-018-0880 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-018-0880 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning applications across mechanical assemblies and equipment. It features a 0.24-inch outside diameter, a 0.018-inch wire diameter, and a spring rate of 0.6 pounds per inch, making it well-suited for applications where consistent, low-force tension is required over a compact stroke. This spring is sold in a package of 3 pieces per order. Mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals working on small mechanical components, fixtures, or OEM assemblies are the typical installers of this spring type.

This extension spring is suited for use in a range of light industrial, commercial, and mechanical service applications where a small-profile tension spring is required. Its compact outside diameter and moderate extended length of 2.68 inches allow it to fit within tight assemblies. Common installation scenarios include machinery linkages, small appliance components, and mechanical control mechanisms that require a consistent return or tensioning force at low load levels.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a small-diameter extension spring with these dimensional specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel. Always de-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing springs in mechanical assemblies. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when handling and installing extension springs under tension. Verify spring dimensions and rate match the application requirements before installation to ensure safe and proper operation.
