Gardner Spring GE0240-0372750S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0240-0372750S is a small-diameter extension spring designed for light-duty tension applications across mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, and industrial tooling. It features a 0.24 inch outside diameter and a 0.037 inch wire diameter, with a maximum extended length of 4.27 inches. The spring rate is 4.5188 pounds per inch with an initial tension of 0.6952 pounds, making it suitable for applications that require consistent, controlled return force at low load levels. This spring is sold in a package of 3 pieces and is appropriate for installation by mechanical technicians, equipment maintenance professionals, and experienced tradespeople working with light-gauge spring components.

This extension spring is suited for use in small mechanical devices, instrument panels, enclosures, and light industrial assemblies where a compact, precision-wound tension spring is required. The 2-3/4 inch inside hook length supports standard loop-and-hook mounting configurations. Its small wire diameter and tight coil geometry make it a practical choice for confined spaces or assemblies with tight tolerances. It is sold in quantities of 3, making it convenient for maintenance kits, service stock, or small-batch repair work.

Key Features

• 0.24 inch outside diameter suits compact and confined mechanical assemblies
• 4.5188 lb/in spring rate provides consistent, measurable return force
• Maximum extended length of 4.27 inches supports a wide range of travel requirements
• 0.037 inch wire diameter for light-duty tension applications
• 2-3/4 inch inside hook length for standard hook-and-loop mounting
• Initial tension of 0.6952 pounds holds position before deflection begins

Compatibility

Designed as a precision extension spring for light-duty mechanical and industrial assembly applications requiring a 0.24 inch OD and 4.27 inch maximum extended length configuration.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. De-energize and relieve all mechanical tension from the assembly before removing or installing any spring components. Verify that hook engagement points are fully seated and free of deformation before returning the assembly to service. Do not stretch the spring beyond its rated maximum extended length, as permanent deformation or failure may result.
