Gardner Spring GE0500-055-2250 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0500-055-2250 is a plain-finish extension spring designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring controlled tensile force. It features a 0.5 inch outside diameter, a 0.055 inch wire diameter, and a free length of 2.25 inches with a maximum extended length of 4.29 inches. The spring rate is 6.1 pounds per inch, and initial tension is 1.2 pounds. This spring is sold in a package of 3 pieces, making it suitable for small-quantity service calls, repairs, or prototype builds where consistent spring performance is required.

This extension spring is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment linkages, damper controls, and general industrial machinery where a small-diameter tensile spring with a defined load rate is specified. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, millwrights, and maintenance professionals working on mechanical actuators, door panels, or equipment access covers. Confirm the required spring rate, wire diameter, and hook geometry against the equipment service manual before installation.

Installation Notes

Extension springs store energy under tension and should be handled with care to avoid sudden release during removal or installation. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing spring-loaded assemblies. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection. Verify hook orientation and engagement depth match the original spring configuration before returning equipment to service.
