Gardner Spring GE0240-022-0880 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-022-0880 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring controlled tension and precise return force. It features a 0.24-inch outside diameter, a 0.022-inch wire diameter, and a 2-inch overall free length. The spring rate is 1.7 pounds per inch, with an initial tension of 0.19 pounds. The plain finish indicates no protective coating, making it suitable for dry or low-corrosion environments. Sold in a package of three, this part is commonly installed by mechanical technicians and equipment assemblers working on small appliances, HVAC linkages, control mechanisms, or light industrial assemblies.

This extension spring is suited for residential and light commercial applications where compact dimensions and consistent spring rate are critical. Typical install scenarios include control arm return mechanisms, damper linkages, door latches, and small tensioning assemblies found in HVAC equipment, appliances, and general mechanical devices. The 2-inch maximum extended length keeps it appropriate for confined spaces with limited travel.

Key Features

• 0.24-inch outside diameter for use in tight clearance applications
• 1.7 lb/in spring rate delivers consistent, predictable tension
• 0.022-inch wire diameter provides light-load extension force
• Plain finish suitable for dry or low-corrosion environments
• 2-inch overall length with 2-inch maximum extended length
• Sold in a package of 3 pieces per order

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement extension spring for light-duty mechanical and HVAC control assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch OD, 0.022-inch wire diameter, and 1.7 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical or HVAC technicians. Ensure the equipment is fully de-energized and depressurized before removing or installing springs. Do not stretch the spring beyond its rated maximum extended length, as this can cause permanent deformation and loss of spring rate. Verify hook orientation and anchor point clearance before final assembly.
