Gardner Spring GE0240-0371500S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-0371500S is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning and return-force applications across mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, and industrial hardware. The spring measures 0.24 inches in outside diameter with a wire diameter of 0.037 inches and a maximum extended length of 2.2 inches. It carries a spring rate of 9.7328 pounds per inch and an initial tension of 0.6952 pounds, making it suited for applications requiring consistent, repeatable extension force in confined spaces. Licensed mechanical and HVAC service technicians commonly stock springs of this specification for equipment maintenance and small-assembly repair work.

This extension spring is suited for use in light mechanical assemblies, control linkages, latching mechanisms, and HVAC component returns where a small-profile, low-force spring is needed. Its compact outside diameter and short body length make it a practical fit for tight clearance areas inside equipment cabinets and panel assemblies. This package contains 3 pieces, allowing technicians to keep spares on hand for recurring service calls or batch repairs. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 1 package of 3.

Key Features

• Spring rate of 9.7328 pounds per inch provides consistent, predictable extension force
• Initial tension of 0.6952 pounds prevents coil separation under no-load conditions
• Maximum extended length of 2.2 inches accommodates short-travel return mechanisms
• Inside hook length of 1-1/2 inches for secure attachment at both ends
• Packaged in quantities of 3 for efficient stock management on service vehicles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance stock spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24 inch OD extension spring with a 0.037 inch wire diameter and a maximum extended length of 2.2 inches.

Installation Notes

Extension springs of this size are typically installed by HVAC technicians, millwrights, or mechanical service professionals using standard needle-nose pliers or spring installation tools. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing springs in any powered assembly. Avoid overextending the spring beyond its rated maximum extended length, as permanent set or hook failure can result. Inspect hook ends for deformation after removal and replace any spring showing signs of fatigue or corrosion.
