Gardner Spring GE0360-0451000S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0360-0451000S is a close-wound extension spring designed to store and release tensile energy in mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.36 inches outside diameter with a wire diameter of 0.045 inches and a maximum extended length of 1.43 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 18.9442 pounds per inch with an initial tension of 0.7821 pounds, providing consistent, predictable return force across its operating range. Each package contains 3 pieces. This type of small-diameter extension spring is commonly installed by mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals working on light-duty equipment, appliances, and control linkages.

This extension spring suits applications requiring a compact, low-force tensile element. Typical uses include HVAC damper linkages, appliance door mechanisms, control panel assemblies, and similar light mechanical systems where a consistent return force and precise spring rate are required. The small wire diameter and outside diameter make it well suited for confined mounting spaces.

Key Features

• Spring rate of 18.9442 lb/in for consistent, measurable tensile force
• Initial tension of 0.7821 pounds provides immediate resistance at zero deflection
• 0.36 inches outside diameter fits compact spring pockets and linkage hardware
• 0.045 inches wire diameter for light-duty tensile applications
• Maximum extended length of 1.43 inches limits overextension in service
• Sold in a package of 3 pieces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extension spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36 inches OD, 0.045 inches wire diameter, and 1.43 inches maximum extended length with an 18.9442 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Relieve all tension from the mechanism before removing the existing spring, and verify that hook orientations match the mounting points before installation. Never stretch the spring beyond its maximum extended length, as permanent deformation or failure can result. Confirm the replacement spring rate matches the design requirement of the assembly before returning equipment to service.
