Gardner Spring GE0360-0551750S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0360-0551750S is a precision-wound extension spring designed for light-load tensioning applications across industrial, mechanical, and trade equipment. It features an outside diameter of 0.36 inches, a wire diameter of 0.055 inches, and a spring rate of 19.4656 pounds per inch. The maximum extended length is 2.46 inches. Sold in a package of 3, this spring is typically specified and installed by maintenance technicians, mechanical contractors, and equipment service professionals working on assemblies that require controlled return force or tensile resistance.

This extension spring fits a range of mechanical assemblies where a compact, small-diameter tension spring is required. Typical applications include HVAC damper linkages, door and panel latching mechanisms, small appliance components, and general industrial equipment. The inside hook length of 1-3/4 inches provides a practical engagement depth for standard hook-and-eye or hook-and-pin mounting configurations. With an initial tension of 1.3904 pounds, the spring begins exerting force before additional deflection load is applied, making it well-suited for applications that require immediate tensile engagement at rest.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.36 inches for compact fitment in tight assemblies
• Spring rate of 19.4656 pounds per inch for predictable, linear load response
• Wire diameter of 0.055 inches provides a balance of flexibility and durability
• Initial tension of 1.3904 pounds delivers immediate tensile engagement without preload deflection
• Inside hook length of 1-3/4 inches accommodates standard hook and pin mounting
• Packaged in quantities of 3 to support service inventory and replacement needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement extension spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.36 inch OD, 0.055 inch wire diameter configuration with a maximum extended length of 2.46 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical or maintenance technicians. Before servicing any assembly containing this spring, de-energize all electrical circuits and relieve any stored mechanical tension in the system. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when stretching or seating extension springs, as sudden release of stored energy can cause injury. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and any relevant local mechanical codes when replacing springs in load-bearing or safety-critical linkages.
