Gardner Spring GE0500-0451500S Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0500-0451500S is a stainless steel extension spring designed for applications requiring consistent tensile force across a defined range of motion. It measures 0.5 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1.5 inches and a maximum extended length of 2.94 inches. Wire diameter is 0.045 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 3.9974 pounds per inch with an initial tension of 0.6083 pounds and a maximum work load of 16.55 pounds. This part is sold in a package of three and is suited for mechanical assemblies, HVAC components, industrial equipment, and light-duty machinery requiring reliable return force.

Extension springs in this size range are commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, control linkages, damper assemblies, access panel latches, and small mechanical devices. The plain stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance in humid or mildly corrosive environments. Technicians and assemblers working on equipment with spring-loaded components will find this size appropriate for moderate-load return and tensioning applications where a compact, durable spring is needed.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction with plain finish for corrosion resistance
• Spring rate of 3.9974 pounds per inch for predictable load-deflection behavior
• Maximum work load of 16.55 pounds suits moderate-duty tensioning applications
• Initial tension of 0.6083 pounds holds coils closed until load is applied
• Compact 0.5 inch OD fits tight clearance assemblies
• Sold in a pack of three for maintenance and service inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-profile extension spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.5 inch OD, 0.045 inch wire diameter, and 1.5 inch free length with stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Extension springs store energy under tension and should be installed and removed with appropriate hand tools to avoid sudden release. Always de-energize or depressurize the associated equipment before replacing springs. Ensure the hook or loop ends are fully seated in their attachment points before returning the assembly to service. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant mechanical codes when servicing spring-loaded components.
