Gardner Spring GE0240-0181500S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-0181500S is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning and return-force applications across mechanical and industrial assemblies. It features a 0.24 inch outside diameter, a 0.018 inch wire diameter, and a maximum extended length of 5.99 inches. The spring rate is 0.1738 pounds per inch with an initial tension of 0.0956 pounds. These characteristics make it suitable for precise, low-force applications where consistent pull-back force and compact geometry are required. Licensed trade professionals and mechanical assemblers working with HVAC damper linkages, control mechanisms, and similar light-load spring assemblies will find this spring fits common small-format installations.

This extension spring is used in light mechanical assemblies where a compact, low-force return spring is needed. Typical applications include HVAC damper actuator linkages, control panel assemblies, door latches, and other tensioning mechanisms found in residential and light commercial equipment. The spring ships in a package quantity of three units per order, making it practical for service technicians stocking small hardware for field repairs or maintenance kits.

Installation Notes

Installation of extension springs in mechanical or HVAC assemblies should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the equipment being serviced. De-energize or shut down the associated equipment before replacing any spring components to prevent inadvertent actuation. Use appropriate hand tools to seat the spring hooks securely to avoid unhooking under load. Verify spring alignment and hook engagement before returning the assembly to service.
