Gardner Spring GE0360-0371000S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0360-0371000S is a small-diameter extension spring engineered for precise tensile force applications in mechanical assemblies. With an outside diameter of 0.36 inches, an extended length of 1.68 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.037 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 6.8651 pounds per inch and an initial tension of 0.4345 pounds. It is suited for use in light-duty mechanisms where controlled return force and compact geometry are required. HVAC technicians, equipment assemblers, and mechanical service professionals commonly encounter this spring class in damper linkages, access panel latches, and small actuator return assemblies.

This extension spring is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical applications where a low-profile, high-precision spring is needed. Its compact outside diameter and short extended length make it a practical fit in space-constrained assemblies. The package contains 3 pieces, allowing technicians to stock a small quantity for repair or replacement work without overstocking. UNSPSC Code 31161907 classifies this part under compression and extension springs for procurement and cataloging purposes.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.36 inches for compact fitment in tight assemblies
• Extended length of 1.68 inches provides defined travel range
• Spring rate of 6.8651 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable tensile force
• Initial tension of 0.4345 pounds ensures the spring remains closed under light loads
• Wire diameter of 0.037 inches for fine-gauge, low-force applications
• Sold in a package of 3 pieces for convenient service stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service spare for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a small-diameter extension spring with a 0.36-inch OD and 1.68-inch maximum extended length.

Installation Notes

Installation of extension springs should be performed by qualified mechanical or HVAC service technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing components in the assembly. Use appropriate spring installation tools to seat hooks securely without overstretching the spring beyond its rated extended length. Overstretching can permanently deform the spring and reduce service life.
