Gardner Spring GE0240-037-1120 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-037-1120 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring controlled tension and consistent return force. It features a 0.24 inch outside diameter, a 0.037 inch wire diameter, and a spring rate of 16.4 pounds per inch. The maximum extended length is 1.61 inches. Initial tension is 0.8 pounds. This spring is suited for applications where compact geometry and reliable tension characteristics are required, and is typically installed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service techs, or equipment assemblers working on small-component mechanisms.

This extension spring fits applications where a small-format, low-force tension element is needed inside mechanical assemblies, appliance components, HVAC damper linkages, or similar light-duty mechanisms. Sold in a package quantity of three, it is well suited for service work requiring on-hand spares or for OEM assembly operations with a minimum order of one package. Its compact dimensions make it a practical fit for confined spaces inside equipment housings.

Key Features

• 0.24 inch outside diameter for compact fitment in tight assemblies
• Spring rate of 16.4 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable tension
• 0.037 inch wire diameter providing appropriate stiffness for light-duty applications
• Initial tension of 0.8 pounds eliminates slack at rest
• Maximum extended length of 1.61 inches suits short-travel tension applications
• Sold in a quantity of 3 per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service part for mechanical assemblies requiring a small-diameter extension spring with a 0.24 inch OD, 0.037 inch wire diameter, and a maximum extended length of 1.61 inches.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified technicians familiar with spring-loaded mechanical assemblies. Always de-energize or fully de-tension the surrounding mechanism before removing or installing a spring to prevent injury from sudden release. Use appropriate pliers or spring hooks rated for the application load. Inspect mounting hooks and anchor points for wear or deformation before installation.
