Gardner Spring GE0360-0554000S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0360-0554000S is a close-tolerance extension spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring consistent return force over a defined stroke range. It features an outside diameter of 0.36 inches, a maximum extended length of 6.1 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.055 inches. With a spring rate of 6.6913 lb/in and an initial tension of 1.3904 lb, this spring delivers predictable load characteristics across its operating range. Sold in a pack of 3, it is well suited for maintenance, repair, and OEM assembly applications where multiple units may be needed on a single job.

This extension spring is used in a wide range of mechanical and electromechanical assemblies including HVAC damper linkages, control panel components, electrical enclosure latches, and light mechanical actuators. Its compact outside diameter and moderate spring rate make it appropriate for residential and light commercial equipment. Trade technicians and assembly technicians working on equipment with small-format spring mechanisms will find this pack-quantity format practical for stocking service kits or completing a repair without leaving hardware short.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-format extension spring suitable for light mechanical assemblies calling for a 0.36-inch outside diameter, 0.055-inch wire diameter, and a spring rate near 6.6913 lb/in.

Installation Notes

Extension springs store energy under tension and should be handled carefully during removal and installation to prevent uncontrolled release. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing spring-loaded mechanisms. Use appropriate pliers or spring hooks rated for the load; never stretch the spring beyond its maximum extended length. Follow the equipment manufacturer's service documentation and applicable mechanical codes for your jurisdiction.
