Gardner Spring GE0240-022-0750 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-022-0750 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning and return-force applications across mechanical assemblies. It features a 0.24 inch outside diameter, a 0.022 inch wire diameter, and a spring rate of 2.4 lb/in. The free length is 0.75 inches, with a maximum extended length of 1.53 inches and an initial tension of 0.19 lb. The plain finish indicates uncoated carbon steel construction, making this spring well suited for dry or lightly controlled environments. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and HVAC or appliance service professionals are the typical installers of springs in this size class.

This extension spring is used in compact mechanical assemblies where a small-diameter, low-force tension element is required. Typical applications include appliance linkages, HVAC damper return mechanisms, light-duty latching assemblies, and small equipment controls. The 0.75 inch free length and 1.53 inch maximum extended length suit installations with limited travel and tight spatial constraints. Sold in a package quantity of 3, this spring is practical for technicians who need a direct replacement or a small stock of spares on hand.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with the mechanical assembly being serviced. De-energize and lock out any equipment before removing or installing springs to prevent unexpected movement. Use appropriate spring hooks or installation tools to seat the spring ends without overstretching past the maximum extended length of 1.53 inches. Inspect mounting hooks and anchor points for wear or deformation before installing a replacement spring.
