Gardner Spring GE0240-022-1250 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-022-1250 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning and return applications across a wide range of mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.24 inches outside diameter with a 0.022-inch wire diameter and extends to a maximum of 3.35 inches. The spring rate is 0.9 pounds per inch, with an initial tension of 0.19 pounds, making it well-suited for low-force, precision actuation tasks. Mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals typically install this spring wherever consistent pull-back or tensioning force is required in compact housings or linkage mechanisms.

This extension spring fits applications where small geometry and controlled spring rate are critical. Common use cases include HVAC damper linkages, control panel latching mechanisms, appliance assemblies, and general light industrial equipment. The inside hook length of 1-1/4 inches provides positive engagement with standard hook or eyelet attachment points. Sold in a package of 3 pieces, it is practical for stocking as a service replacement or keeping on a service vehicle for small-component repairs.

Installation Notes

Extension springs store energy under tension, so de-energize or mechanically lock any assembly before removing or installing this spring. Use appropriate pliers or spring hooks to seat the inside hooks fully onto their attachment points without overstretching the spring beyond its maximum extended length. Verify the replacement spring rate and hook geometry match the original specification before returning the assembly to service.
