Gardner Spring GE0240-037-2250 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-037-2250 is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring precise tension control. It measures 0.24 inches in outside diameter with a wire diameter of 0.037 inches and a maximum extended length of 3.45 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 6.5 pounds per inch with an initial tension of 0.8 pounds, making it well suited for applications that demand consistent, repeatable force over a defined range of travel. Sold in a package of 3 pieces, this spring is a practical stocking item for maintenance and repair applications.

This extension spring is used in light mechanical assemblies across HVAC equipment, appliance linkages, electrical enclosures, and general industrial equipment where a compact return or tension element is required. Its small OD and fine wire diameter make it appropriate for tight-clearance installations in control mechanisms, door latches, damper actuators, and similar assemblies. Technicians working on residential and light commercial equipment commonly use springs of this type during component-level repairs and rebuilds.

Key Features

• 0.24 inch outside diameter suits tight-clearance and small-component applications
• 6.5 lb/in spring rate provides consistent, predictable tension force
• 0.037 inch wire diameter for light-duty load requirements
• Maximum extended length of 3.45 inches with 2-1/4 inch inside hook length
• Initial tension of 0.8 pounds reduces slack and maintains preload at rest
• Packaged in quantities of 3 for convenient stocking and replacement use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extension spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24 inch OD, 0.037 inch wire diameter, and 6.5 lb/in spring rate across HVAC, appliance, and general equipment applications.

Installation Notes

Extension springs of this type are installed by licensed technicians or qualified mechanics during component-level service. Always de-energize equipment and release any stored mechanical tension before removing or installing extension springs. Use appropriate spring tools to avoid overextending the spring beyond its maximum extended length, which can cause permanent deformation. Follow all applicable equipment service documentation during installation.
