Gardner Spring GE0500-063-1500 Extension Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GE0500-063-1500 is a close-wound extension spring designed for light-duty tensioning and return-force applications across a wide range of mechanical assemblies. It features a 0.5-inch outside diameter, a 0.063-inch wire diameter, and a free length of 1.5 inches. The spring rate is 25.5 lb/in, with an initial tension of 1.7 lb that must be overcome before deflection begins. Maximum extended length is 2.17 inches. The plain finish indicates no coating, making it suited for dry or protected indoor environments. Licensed technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors install or replace these springs during equipment servicing, linkage adjustments, and panel-latch repairs.

This extension spring fits applications in HVAC equipment, commercial refrigeration linkages, damper assemblies, control panel mechanisms, and general industrial machinery where a compact, moderate-rate return spring is required. Its 0.5-inch OD profile allows installation in confined mounting spaces typical of equipment enclosures and control assemblies. It is sold in a package quantity of three, which covers a standard service call or bench-stocking need without excess inventory.

Key Features

• 25.5 lb/in spring rate provides consistent, predictable return force
• 1.7 lb initial tension engages before deflection, reducing slack in linkage systems
• 0.5-inch OD and 1.5-inch free length suit compact installation envelopes
• Maximum extended length of 2.17 inches limits over-extension during operation
• Plain finish for use in dry, protected mechanical environments
• Packaged in quantities of three for efficient field or shop restocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement extension spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies, linkages, and return-force applications where a 0.5-inch OD, 0.063-inch wire diameter spring with a 25.5 lb/in rate is specified.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with the equipment being serviced. De-energize and lock out all power to the assembly before removing or installing any spring component. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection, as compressed or extended springs store mechanical energy. Verify the replacement spring rate and dimensions match the original specification before installation to avoid equipment damage or personal injury.
